Jim:
I'm running an older Dell with up-to-date XP. Firefox (14.0.1)starts at 
64K with my home page showing (a photo). When I opened up a website 
(Nascar, as an example), memory usage runs to around 110K. Drops again 
when I close, but not to 64K. Now, I've not left it on all day, so I 
don't know if memory usage creeps up.

Other than a longish start up, Firefox seems to work quite well.

Best wishes,
Martin
