Whatever you do don't use IE at the moment!
(Some people in Google are feeling this acutely!)
Did restarting Firefox drastically reduce memory use?

Yes I thought aboutt eh flash stuff, but even when I have pages open with no
flash it uses a lot of ram too.......I have already got rid of chrome for the
same reasons. Figured it was not worth having 2 memory hungry browsers
installed :-)

Firefox does use more ram over time - restart it and you will find the

most is from Flash and other plugins, so other browsers will do the same.
Hint later versions are usually better at using less memory! So check your
version
Each version gets tighter on memory usage, for instance I have had 67 tabs
open for about a day and Firefox is using 380MB memory. I am running the 3.7
nightly alpha build too (ie the latest bleeding edge) - I have been following
issues like this on the Firefox development newsgroup.
Chrome also can have similar issues, largely as it uses separate processes
for each tab and this increases memory usage too.

I know thi sis offtopic, but does anyone know WHY FireFox consumse SO
MUCH RAM ??
I have 8 tabs open and its usign over 400MB !! Its complete madness ! I
have started going off Firefox lately. On ym Vista 64bit install at home, I
cant do an F5 to refresh, I have to do a CTRL+F5 ....... grrr
