Are you using the Firefox Beta? I've had serious problems with the beta on my machine (to the extent of 100% cpu usage on a dual core when running a BIM pacakage at the same time.) The internet is now a whole lot faster with Safari, I must say (running on XP).


No, I'm on FF 2.0 (Windows|Linux) and on Safari when I'm on a Mac. However, FireFox, especially when paired with Flash, is a topic for another discussion: my CPU utulization sometimes jumps to 100% when I simply switch tabs in it.

Actually I am finding more and more often that I DONT want to use a "web app", but want a slick and fast desktop option instead, I started thinking that almost immediately after I left Windows behind (Leopard or Ubuntu now)


FF 2.0 was even worse for me with the extreme memory leak when using google apps. Safari so far is blazing fast (on windows)
