    FF3 doesn't support many of extensions, including Google toolbar for FF, that FF 2.x does. Although the add-ons count for IE7 is on the shorter side, it works as better as FF, rather faster. Unless you don't plan to switch away from Windows OS, nothing's better than IE.

    I would think FF 2 would also be 10 times faster.... IE is just simply old now.. Although FF takes a lot of memory up, it's the best browser there... I'm not taking a chance with FF3 RC1 right now, I don't want any security leaks or anything into my accounts... I'll wait for the stable version.. Although RC1 could become the stable one from what I've heard.

    I have 3 browsers in my system.
    IE7 , FF3 and Opera

    Opera is the best one followed by FF.

    Opera wont crash .It is the fastest among the 3.

    If you never worked on FF please install FF2 and try it. That itself very nice.

    On the contrary retard, anything is better than IE. Also, FF3 is godly fast and uses less memory than any other browser.

    May be I'm brand loyal then and doesn't feel good while running FF on Windows :) But I'd, perhaps, never agree to that something called FireFox uses less memory.
