Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.10 Released
Firefox 2.0.0.10 is now available for download. This version patches three security holes in the world's second most-popular browser. The first bug is a cross-site scripting flaw in the jar: URI scheme, which may allow an attacker to steal private information (a proof of concept has been published demonstrating how the contacts of logged-in Gmail users can be stolen). Firefox 2.0.0.10 also fixes three stability bugs, which could be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. The final issue relates to a race condition when setting the window.location property, which could be used to spoof a HTTP Referer header. The release can be downloaded from the Mozilla Firefox product page. More information about the new version can be found in the Firefox 2.0.0.10 release notes.

EDIT:
I just deleted 2 unused addons & now my mem usage is 35k lol
I don't even use Safari on my Mac. It's no better than IE7, imho. My tweaked Firefox is faster than either (still not faster then Opera tho, but I just can't get used to Opera. lol)
If I'm not mistaken, the first "production" tabs were actually in version 0.9.5 of Mozilla (September 2001 -- Opera 6, with its tabs, didn't come out until December), which in turn got the idea from Netcaptor, a browser started in 1997 from a modded version of IE's Trident core.
And Safari's "fast" speeds are actually a result of the Safari team fudging the way the "onLoad()" handler fires in their JavaScript engine -- they've made it fire ealier, before the page is fully rendered, thus throwing off a lot of the benchmarks they use to prove that Safari is faster. (I know this because, when designing for the web, it's a giant friggin' headache for me.)
