I'm using Opera because FF crashed on me too many times, hogging my CPU, and slowing down to a crawl when I was downloading something. Opera is just more suited for me. Not gonna say that it's better than FF.

I don't see how people can complain about performance of browsers. Unless you have a POS for a computer with dial-up, the differences are so minimal that you'd have to be in bullet time to see them.

And for the argument that IE7 supports add-ons: IE6 also supported add-ons and has been around for how many years now? 6? 7? Where are all the add-ons for IE6 other than WGA Validation?

Btw I use Firefox with IE Tab. Can you run IE7 with FF Tab? I don't think so. The ability to run IE7 inside Firefox with the Firefox interface is something no other browser out there can do.
Now you can. 😀

I am using FF on my laptop for a good reason IE6 always crash too many times and I wanted to try out with FF It seems ok but FF still crash too..I can't figure out until recent I realized I might have a bad ram (Patroit) so I am gonna buy new RAM from Kingston soon. I suppose the Patroit memory is suck
It still crashes inside FF because it's still using the IE engine and it's the IE engine that's crashing your IE Tab.

Elaborate?
 
"FF crashes", "FF is slow" boohoo. Listen.. don't blame FF because your rig sucks. I've had zero issues.. ZERO..with my FF2 installation. There's only one thing wrong with it the developers either don't care about, or haven't managed to fix: it slowly eats up RAM the more you surf.. it doesn't free it up. You can either just quit and restart, or type in about:config in the address bar, and add a new boolean var, "config.trim_on_minimize".. so from then on when you minimize FF, it will free up RAM. Works quite well.
