Firefox on a Mac isn't a very nice experience. It seems to leak memory like crazy.

On Ubuntu, running Firefox and Opera, both with 5 open tabs, Firefox is using up 7% of my RAM, Opera less than 2%.

I like opera.

I liked it on windows.

I liked it on the mac.

I like it on linux.

I wish wish wish wish that people would get their act together and make pages work with opera as well as they do with IE or Mozilla after all it is W3C compliant... unlike the other two.

Firefox however, that leaks for me on windows, that leaks on mac and it leaks on Linux, but I end up using it alot because opera doesn't work for some pages I frequent (even after I complained to google over and over again, they still don't have a working google reader bit for igoogle for opera, also loan stuff for my car pukes on opera.)

Opera tends to be my browser of choice, unless I go to a site I know won't display; in that instance I browse with Firefox. I'm using Firefox now, but only because my online banking won't render properly in Opera.

Agreed here too. I've been using Opera for years, and Firefox when something doesn't work in Opera. Usually I have around 8-12 tabs open in Opera and its stable for days on end. Also have to add Mouse Guestures kick ass!
