I use IE on my Windows machines merely for compatibility and speed.

Yea FF does become a resource hog after a while, I'm not sure why. Closing and opening the program does tend to help. Although not everything in memory gets cleared when you restart the app, so I don't think thats the problem.
If you REALLY don't like the bugginess of FF I'd recommend going with Netscape over IE, but thats just my 2c. I personally like alot of the customization and add on stuff that FF supports.
The price you pay...

ALL I use is Firefox. Both on my Linux box at home and my Windows box at work. I have never had a problem with this site, but the Netstumbler forums can be slow to load. I attribute it to the other sites that also have to load, like intellitext and whatnot. If you use AdBlock you can block a lot of that stuff. I keep some of the ads here just to support the site, but I don't like stuff that gets in the way.
For example, I've blocked *.intellitxt.* and now those underlined words that like to popup the boxes when you mouse over them are gone! AdBlock + Firefox 0wns all!

big download link in top right, currently in beta 2, seems to works quite stable for me, no issues at all so far ... and I love all of the new features. I actually installed vista beta and really liked the ie7 browser.
As far as firefox, some of my buddies use it and it doesnt work with some websites, I dont really see a point in it. What popups with IE ? are you guys using ie4 or something ?
