does running extentions cause firefox to take up more memory? With 26 extensions and a theme running, I'm using 243 MB of RAM when Firefox is open. So yes, it does take up more memory. ;) :) ~Philip

- IE tab that crashes only in my old computer (the one at home) and sometimes at work; havent found the relation with flash update as Senocular points out)
- Gmail notifier
- web developer (a must!)
- Opera view (as opera now is free and is cool, why not using it from time to time?)
