One of the most powerful web browser in Linux, Mozilla Firefox has a very high CPU Utilisation. Its CPU Utilisation at times reaches a maximum of 98% at high load conditions in the web browser.
One such instance is as shown below:
Here, as the screenlet meter shows, 96% of CPU is being used.
The Ubuntu8.10-Linux tells us that 256 MB RAM is enough for running it, but if Mozilla Firefox is in use, then the computer will become really really slow. Switching between processes takes a lot of time in systems with 256MB RAM.
I would prefer going to Opera rather than using Mozilla Firefox. Opera provides the best tab facility and operates faster than Firefox. There are also other light weight web browsers but they have their own disadvantages and also don't have the features provided by the above two browsers.
Relatively, I observed that Mozilla Firefox in Windows operating system delivers better performance than in Linux.
