big thing you are not taking into account...
"I've got 12 tabs open in Firefox right now and I'm using up only 60MB of memory...but it is the biggest memory hog. I have two IE windows open and it's only using 16MB...."

Yes, but in that ONE instance you had TWELVE seperate websites open! Try only opening two tabs and that would be a more direct comparison. Or try opening another ten websites with IE and see the result. THAT would be a realistic comparison..

happy
