I have been a firefox fun for a long time .. Being a tech guru I inspired all my friends who ran to me that IE not responding problem . But now I just cant go with Firefox anymore It shuts down like 20 times a day . And acrobat stops responding like 100 times a day .. I am just looking for another browser to tab me going ... probably not IE may be Opera or Flock may do the trick for me Firefox eats up memory like there is no tomorrow ..
