Hi tednelly,

This situation is going to go on, because alternate browsers are not on an equal footing to the Windows OS then IE is, because Microsoft is not allowing them. That is the "benefit"of an integrated browser solution. What we have here is a compatibility problem, which cannot be blamed on FF. Some browsers have tackled these problems better then others.
It is my personal experience that when I start the FF browsers from a seperate partition like a flash disk (mem stick), it does not crash, and it does not have the mem problems. The Flock browser is even better in these respects. API problems. This was the backlash for Netscape, and this reason made IE the browser of choice in MS's opinion.

 :o Wait a minute you are blaming the instability problems of Firefox on IE being integrated. ::) Firefox has stability problems because of poor coding. It has nothing to do with Microsoft.

Mastertech,

Do not twist my words, please. No I am generally speaking of all alternate browsers compared to Internet Explorer equaling more or less Windows Explorer. Why do you think that the Internet Explorer browser was built into the OS to be an integral part of the OS, just exactly to win the browser war. I state that alernate browsers are not at par with IE, and that situation is to continue.
On the other hand in some respects these browsers were more secure and innovative. The FF mem problem is basically that. IE mem consumption is half that of FF. Then another fact is that alternate browsers have a smaller platform and less malware vector addressed against, but that is relative security.
