	Firefox a bloated mess? I've always thought of Firefox as the  
opposite -- lean and mean. Not as fast as Safari, but relatively  
close, very innovative and very flexible. And, it is the only piece of  
FOSS that has had enough sense to figure out how to market itself to  
end users successfully.

	How's it like a cancer?
