Windows Task Manager Screenshot showing the memory consumption of Opera and Firefox (highlighted in yellow).
I got into a recent email arugument with a friend of mine between the memory resources between Firefox and Opera. Well, here is my Winodw Task Manager showing both running processes and the memory that they are occupying. Read it and weep. We are talking about Opera only consuming 25% of the resources that Firefox consumes and not even double what Windows Explorer (the underlying engine for IE) uses. I love Firefox, but it needs some serious trimming. I love Opera, but it needs extensions. Love and hate, give and take.

Opera is lighter and has documented faster page-load times than FF. But, (in Linux) when I close Opera, it does not release all the RAM it had reserved.

2 Why is Opera opened under Administrator, and Firefox is not?
3 Did you clear all the data from both before you tested?
Btw, FF 3b5 fixed most of the memory leak; Firefox 3 will be released sooner than you think, and you should like it better than Opera, even if Opera got addons.
