Memory Restart is a Firefox plugin that makes this a snap. You can restart Firefox in one click if it reaches a certain memory threshold.

There is memory that is not solely used by IE that IE uses within the windows system. Some of the information is faulty or outdated on firefoxmyths.com, although it does give a different perspective than jumping on the non-Microsoft bandwagon. Martin’s right.

It is also very difficulty to compare Firefox and Internet Explorer directly because of the different levels of integration in the operating system. If you want to compare them do so on a Mac for instance :) If there is IE 7 for Mac that is. There is more than one reason for not using Internet Explorer.
