    I dunno, FF works fine for me. I prefer it over chrome.

I do have Chrome and FF installed which actually came in handy the other day. But I use them when I have to fix stuff with IE. Fixed it twice in the last week or so (flash updates that are broken, don't install the latest flash if you have IE), but that's the first time I've touched my IE install in years.
      You know nothing. FF is zero-maintenance unless you throw in gobs of DIY addons.

        Meh, FF is pretty bloated the last time I looked at it, even bare. Zero maintenance except that a) point of FF is extensibility, and b) so much memory bloat just with bare FF that it's really unmanageable.

          IE9 from a web dev's perspective is a million times better than IE8.

            FF's performance with Flash and multiple tabs is just getting awful. They need to man up and go the Chrome route already.

                Gosh, maybe the computers I have to manage have a ****-ton of addons and zero maintenance. Last time I had to fix it it took about half the day after I cleaned it all off I had to try to repair the FF install. What a pain in the ass.

                  You need to get with the times.

                  Modern firefox is very lean memory-wise. Certainly uses far less memory than Chrome.

                    Man, that's a negative endorsement if I ever saw one. How much is MS paying you again, Asher?

                      WTF does that even mean?

                      I hate IE.

                        Seriously? Admittedly I keep it open for long periods with multiple tabs open, but for me at least it memory bloats like a pig.

                            I don't blame FF as such, but a Jenkins tab can eat up enough memory during a night to crash FF. Haven't tried, but guess that Exploder will do the same.
                            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                                It's likely the fault of bloaty plugins.
