Story: Firefox loses market share

My honest opinion.

I tried switching completely over to Firefox when v1.0 came out. I made the occasional visit to IE out of necessity (ie. linked pages from MSN, certain websites, etc).

I did find that Firefox began taking up more and more memory, and worse, there were HUGE lag times on certain downloads.

Eventually, I had to switch back, not because I like IE, but at least it works consistently.

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
