    you shouldn't just give up on a browser because it tells you it's gay one morning, it can lead to deep psychological problems in future life

    Mozilla suite (bloated) or Amaya (ooooold). Theres the Lynx browser too, but that's strictly text only browsing.

    some javascripts used to make the CPU load shoot through the roof, for example that damn Xmas falling snow, i'm not sure if it still does it in the latest versions

    earlier versions of firefox (Phoenix/FireBird) might be to your liking
    Phoenix 0.1
    Phoenix 0.3
    FireBird 0.7
    Firefox 0.9.3
    those 4 versions were pretty good

    i still use mozilla 1.0.2 as my default browser (i did switch to the latest Thunderbird for email though)

    or you might give Opera v8 a try. some people love it, some hate it

    EDIT: What OS are you running?

    How long did you have FF running before you restarted it FKDUP?

    I have seen discussions somewhere (Neowin? Mozillazine? can't say for sure now) about how FF has always had some sort of leak that chews up system resources if you don't restart it at least once a day... or less, preferably.

    @ Vargas - XP Pro, of course
    (and ty for teh linkage, I might just try out opera, why not?)

    @ uNz[i] - I always close my browser when I'm done,
    no need to leave it running 24/7
    have never had this kinda fit from FF before

    I am posting this from IE now, I'm pissed about that

    FF was fine after restarting it, then after a while it shot up in CPU usage again

    gonna go through the usual scans, but doubt that anything'll come up
    maybe try a reinstall of firefox

    hmmmm...trying out Opera, seems nice
    the ad banner isnt shit, takes up the sapce of a toolbar
    I am sure there are ways around it if it gets under my skin

    hasnt ate up any CPUs yet, but teh RAM usage is ridiculous
