Firefox itself has any issues, but it does seem to have a memory leak? hog? something-- which saddens me, because it makes me feel like I'm using Mozilla again, which had these kinds of problems for a long, long time. Firefox was a big relief because it *didn't* have 'that damn Mozilla memory problem', but it seems to have developed it.
At the end of the day - it's still a massive improvement over anything M$ have produced with IE. So long as you know the limitations you can work around it - i.e. if you've been playing with alot of tabs, just close it down and start it back up again when you're done (a few seconds work).
And, I think with one of the tab extensions that you can download it'll save the current tabs you have open and recreate them all for you when you restart firefox.
I just find Mozilla (Suite) slow and cumbersome, although it does have better Javascript support than Firefox (useful for IE-centric sites), and Opera is propiritary and has an over-enthuisatic interface (not as simple as firefox). Long live firefox! :)
