[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Firefox 2.0 is almost here, and Microsoft is expected to start pushing out Internet Explorer 7 to users via the Windows Automatic Update software-distribution mechanism by year's end. In short, the browser wars are about to begin again.[/FONT]

I'll update to IE7 only if Valve solves the Problem it has with CS1.6

Depends on the content you are browsing, cause at least on my computer Mozilla has his "glory moments" after 30 tabs are open. It is better then IE in my opinion, but it crashes whenever i least expect it :(

If you guys love that much Mozilla Firefox, maybe u can explain smth to me about it's behaviour:

Whenever I leave my computer, I use the sleep key to lock it. I don't close applications(including Mozilla). After a day when I sit at the computer again, mozilla is eating like 400-500 Mb of my RAM and in the end crashes. So why does it grow ?!?

Opera for me. I use IE for sites which can't be opened properly in Opera.

Opera is da best! I completely agree! But with some Cool FireFox extensions like Orkut Scrap Easy, Orkutting is more fun using FF! So while Orkutting FF is my choice.
Also new Yahoo AJAX and Rediff AJAX interface doesn't work in Opera. Otherwise I am also a fanatical fan of Opera!
OPERA Rulezzzz....Gimme More! [ oh..Widgets..]

So, I am asking again, maybe this time I get an answer ;)
Can anyone pls tell me why Firefox tends tends to grow in memory usage if you don't close it for a few days ?

ff2 rocks simply coz opera doesn't still know how to download. it sometimes starts opening zip or mp3 files rather than asking to save.

Opera ofcourse

and it would probably take IE 5 years just to come close to Opera. it doesn't even come in the picture
