@CobraA1 its funny you should mention that, firefox either doesnt operate properly on a lot of websites or crashes (maybe thats more of an issue with certain setups than others) but i also noticed facebook using up loads of memory, then a few hours later i found all my related stuff was compromised, i received no less than 30 fraud alerts relating to odd use of payment sites, not to mention reciving warnings about sending spam mail via my facebook registered email account to everyone in my contacts list.
it would apear that a lot of things on pages in face book are specifically crafted flash and perform data mining and key loggin when there open, so if like me you into having multiple windows open theres every chance your compromising all your stuff, dont have to worry about any of it now since i simply closed the face book account (which was hijacked 3 times in 3 days despite folowing all the required/recomended actions) took longer to sort out the illegal access to the online payment systems but i would hedge a bet that the increase in use of IE8 has more to do with the new web interoperability, after all if it dont work right first time you just click that compat ability button and there it is working like it should, other browsers dont seem to have soemthign like that which actually works as described.
