                IE is merely the frontend for Microsoft's HTML renderer/web libraries, which load at windows startup into memory. So, really, IE is just preloading itself with Windows, at the expense of memory. If you haven't tried an optimized Firefox build, now would be a good time to start.

                    How about: "Firefox only!"?
                    I'm just a newbie.

                                  Every time I clicked on my favorites while using firefox my browser locked up and I'd have to reboot. use IE only now.

                                    Using FF half the time but pages do load slower, now I have read the new Netscape uses the same engine and performs better then FF.
                                    Gone give Netscape a try soon.

                                        both equally
                                        in combination with roboform IE works better

                                                i use both, i prefer firefox only because of the tabbed browsing feature. i hear the next IE will come out with the same feature so i'll see if i switch back.

                                                              I'm interested to see how IE 7 will turn out. Apparently it has such great new features as "tabbed browsing" ;)

It's on the IE engine, so it supports Flash and all that flawlessly, but it has tabs and lots of other handy FF features. I still use FireFox on my main machine, though.
