thought i'd try firefox, doesn't seem faster but it is simpler, however it uses more resources than IE.

firefox reports 26,000k mem usage while IE reports 14,000k mem usage. I thought firefox was supposed to be more efficient and compact.

any other benefits or drawbacks?

is it safer or more resistant to attacks etc?
