There is really not much fire over that fox and has never been. I usually call it Slowfox instead ;-)
Netscape had a very fast and efficient browser up to version 4.6 to 4.7 (depending on the language). Then they "committed suicide" and jumped on this terrible Mozilla project, which Firefox is also a part of.
You have done a great job making this forum fast, so you know something about efficiency, but most programmers do not do that. A sufficent amount of object-oriented programming can kill even the fastest computer.
I have also tried Opera. It is fast and efficient, but it cannot print - at least not to PostScript - and it do not display things the way IE do, so even though I am really not among Microsoft's biggest fans, I see no alternative to IE.

1 Enter URL of about:config 2 filter on "image_icon" (browser.chrome.image_icons.max_size sets the size above which thumbnails aren't produced) 3 change the value from 1024 to 0
