Firefox is a great browser but the memory usage is crazy. Try Chrome, another great browser but with less memory consuption

I've been using chrome since it came out... But recently went back firefox and I find it to be more stable and faster. even memory usage is lower than chrome. If u use a slow computer, firefox is faster in rendering than Chrome

The only downside is that it doesnt sync bookmark like chrome

Chrome vs. Firefox: Your Best Arguments
"Firefox wins on extensions, privacy and security. Chrome wins on simplicity and smoothness. However FF is working on both simplicity (australis) and smoothness (electrolysis) for next year. That said, they are more equal then many realize. FF favors the power user with many tabs and extensions. Chrome favors the average user with only a couple of tabs open and no extensions."

u can try The Pale Moon Project homepage it's a slim ver of firefox which support windows only...

If you sign in with Firefox Sync then it will sync bookmark etc.
