    nope not stupid - just that they dont know any better.

    If firefox was shipped as the default browser on all pcs - then more people would use it - but they never will

    I'm also a fan of FF but it is a memory whore.
    At the moment i've FF open with two tabs open boards.ie and a local HTML file ( just plain text) Memory usage = 407 MB Ouch, lucky I have 2GB of RAM on my work laptop
