http://www.opera.com/

I was starting to get tired of firefox's little bugs -- like memory leaks and the fact that it never seems to close when I close it -- I have to kill it with task manager.  Also the fact that when I restore it, it takes forever to come back up and thrashes the hard drive for a couple minutes, even on fast machines with plenty of memory.

I finally gave up and started using Opera.  Conveniently, shortly after I started using it, it became free.  While it doesn't appear to be as customizeable as firefox, it's so much faster!  The only thing it lacks is a good adblock extension like firefox had.  Putting up with ads is worth it, though, for the huge speed boost and smaller memory footprint, in my opinion.

Putting up with ads is never worth it, in my opinion. Then again, I've not had any of the problems you described. Not with that frequency, anyway. Now that it's free, I may check it out just to see how it is, though.

I've never had those problems with Firefox, either.
