Firefox 3.0.10 download is 7.1MB. On a logical partition (G:), my installation with a dozen extensions and a *huge* bookmark file, is about 180MB, but I have previously maintained a slimmer installation. There are a number of files which can grow to be quite large but are easily deleted, then the application recreates them with all the fat gone. Which files are safely removed will be listed in the forums. The new version, Firefox 3.5, due out later this year, is supposed to be smaller and faster, so it may prove a better application for your needs once the changes are distributed. I find Chrome an excellent browser (fast and small) especially when rebuilding systems, but it lacks the kind of extensions available for Firefox which offer so much help for research and simplification of tasks on the web.
