RE: memory. Opera 9.5 must be configured to dump it's memory on minimize. I've got it open in task manager, and watched the memory usage drop from 50mb to 8mb, the instant I minimized it. Firefox isn't doing this by default... but I'm not sure it's the best behaviour, as Opera then takes a bit of time to reload everything into memory when you open it back up.

Still, a big improvement in memory usage for Firefox.
