I run iTunes and have no problems with speed with it. Runs pretty smooth overall.

I just wish I knew if my shit was being downloaded in loss-less audio.

I had the same problem with FF on my old machine. Its just too bloated. Youtube videos as well as quicktime videos stopped working. Don't even think about running it along with itunes. Lockup city. I've since switched to Opera and haven't looked back. Google Chrome is also on my machine, but until it gets out of beta stages, I won't use it.

I used to use Opera before FF, but I only changed because I liked FF better. Opera is a pretty good browser, I have complaints I can think of.

Firefox barely touches my processor. But it does use a lot of ram. This forum with 3 tabs open 127,032 K.

But, I have 2 gig or ram so I could care less....

I have no problems with firefox. Ramhog? Yes, but I have plenty of that.

Processor? Mine jumps around a bit when doing stuff, but never noticeably slows down, and I have 1.73 ghz single core centrino + 2 gb ram.

It's an utter and complete resource whore.
I've gone back to using IE7 because Firefox hogs so much RAM and keeps my CPU busy constantly to the point that it causes everything to run so slow. Like I can't even watch YouTube anymore. My computer isn't anything special, but its more than plenty to run it.

Download http://www.ie7pro.com. It will make your IE7 better than any version of FF.
