Do what I do: disable flash, disable _javascript_, don't visit youtube and
leave FF loaded only so long as you need it.
opera is a good option, personally I use
several browsers for different things
- opera - general browsing
- konqueror - file management, troubleshooting when using online helps (the built in terminal is quite useful here)
- firefox - the web apps that I need for work need both java and flash so no option here
- lynx/elinks - when I am reading documents (who says we need fancy things like pictures)
- dillo - I keep this around because I am intrested in its development, it seems to have great potential in becoming a top of the line, lightweight browser
