I don't know when 3.6 came out, but likely after I'd already quit using Firefox. It was diabolical, unusable – and I've seen that on both Windows and Mac machines and across many generations of it. I honestly love Firefox but I just gave up on trying to work around its resource abuse.

MobileMe = cool that you're found a good use for it. I really only keep it around for 'Find My Phone'.

Strange that firefox would be exhibiting that behavior. Ever since I upgraded to 3.6 I've found it to be the fastest, best browser I've used on my Mac. So I'll be pretty happy to get an app on my iPhone to sync Firefox bookmarks. Though, usefulness will be limited by it only being able to browse them from within the app as opposed to syncing bookmarks like Safari does.

I guess there is an upside to that I don't use Safari on my Mac, though…with MobileMe syncing my bookmarks, I'm not encumbered by a bunch of bookmarked sites that only work on a desktop browser — they are all specifically bookmarked from either my iPhone or my iPad.

Hmmm, I had Firefox (on a Mac) trimmed down to just a couple of extensions – but it still annihilated CPU and RAM resources on a very regular basis. I'm finding Chrome way faster on the Mac. Fortunately I very rarely have to run a browser in my Windows virtual machine, and IE only when absolutely necessary to test something.

On Windows I tend to hop onto Chrome for speed and Firefox for add ons. And of course *shudder* IE8 for those godawful yesteryear intranet sites which still require it. Please tell me why I need to use IE in order to fill out a time sheet…
