Firefox 11.0 has substantial overhead (10% - 20% CPU usage) compared to Safari 5.1.5 (1%). Of course plugins make a difference (more overhead) but even with most plugins disabled, Firefox is bloatware. I'll be using Chrome or Safari from now on.. (I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard but I suspect Firefox overhead is similar on Windows)

Firefox won't stay installed on my computer. It stays until I turn it off, then it leaves.

Firefox is a resource hog but there are a few add-ons that make life easier, and when Google takes over the planet I want to keep my options open.
