Firefox the memory hog
I use Firefox every day, I was sold on its speed, leanness and extensibility, but it looks like the Firefox team is loosing the plot. My friend James Crisp recently posted the following:

I suggest people look for enigma browser and download it from http://store.democratz.org
You can find the link just above the products and you can download it for free.
Engima runs faster than Firefox and you can easily run 32 tabs and not slow down the machine.
