Lightweight Firefox

Firefox is my favourite browser for doing web development work, but a while back I switched to Chrome as it is faster and less resource hungry. Recently I heard about an optimized version of Firefox for Windows called Pale Moon. I've been using Pale Moon as my primary browser for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. It's much faster and uses much less memory than Firefox, but I can still run all by favourite add-ons such as Firebug, ColdFire and the Web Developer Toolbar.

If you're a Windows user, I highly recommend you check out the project at: www.palemoon.org

1. Very interesting, I've been staying away from my Firefox installation due to it feeling way too sluggish after installing Chrome. I'll definitely be trying this out, good find :)
