Hot Or Not Firefox

Everybody seems to be praising Firefox as a better alternative to Internet Explorer, but I am not so sure.

Firefox has an odd memory leak where after being open for a few hours it will consume system resources like a dog with meat products. Plus the only difference between an updated version of IE and Firefox is that Firefox can do tabbed browsing.

I like Firefox, but IE is more stable and it makes me wonder if people are just being snooty about the whole issue.
