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

I'd agree with this approach. I have Kazehakase set up with TOR +
Privoxy with the same option in Iceweasel when I want it; Opera for
Google.com/linux searching and as Icedove default browser, Epiphany and
Iceape for general browsing and Konqueror for "fish" connections with my
laptop. Oh yes, I also have Dillo for basic no nonsense browsing.
This is probably overload, but the two reasons I keep Iceweasel going is
because of its flash compatibility as well as the add-ons/extensions
that I like. Too bad Epiphany doesn't come with extensions like the
weather or an Athens toolbar, but oh well.
