    With 5 tabs open, Firefox is using 130MB Physical, 60MB Virtual where Chrome is using 202MB Virtual and 124MB Virtual.

    I've just found an annoying glitch.
    Click on the forum tools drop down box on the top right see where you end up :D

    I haven't got side buttons. I'm still searching for a non expensive non microsoft mouse to do that.

    Right-click on the blue tab bar beside the tabs. One of the options is 'Task Manager'

    This tells you how much memory each tab is taking up individually

    Where the frilly knickers are the bookmarks hiding?

    I want a spell check (In ENGLISH not YANKISH)
    I want google toolbar (for the highlight text and gmail buttons

    Oh yeah and I want it not to take me on a journey to the bottom of the page when I click on the forum tools button.

    And when I leave a line space with my cursor when typing a message I don't want that pretty blue line to appear and move my text up to directly below the other text. So that I have to move it down again.

    I told you I would be whining:D


    EDIT : the spell check (English not Yankish) is under the options tab on the top right under 'minor tweaks'

    Click the Spanner and select always show bookmarks.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
    (OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)
