But it runs *way* slower; is there some exponential change in keeping one more tab loaded? And why is it that firefox runs like cold mozilla all the time, whether it has half a dozen tabs open, or a dozen and a half? Multiple tabs don't slow opera down nearly so much as they do firefox.
On my box firefox and mozilla tend to end up using gobs of memory which appears to be mostly related to plugins. that don't free up memory allready used. that seems to be the big problem, when your browser has 1GB of ram in use and you only have 512MB it gets a little slow.
