Right now I'm using Opera. My biggest complaint with Firefox is how much resources it seems to takeup and the fact that it's slow to startup. I know I can cheat and have it startup and hide in the system tray, but Opera starts up faster without that. Firefox takes up a ton of memory too. Just starting up Firefox with a blank page takes up 50MB. Opera and IE take 18 - 22MB. After browsing a few websites, FF can take well over 100MB of RAM. Hopefully this'll be fixed in 1.5.

Just run Ad-Aware; it will tell you where the problems are coming from. I still get a lot more spyware/adware on my machine when browsing with IE than with Firefox.
