I suggest leaving FireFox open at all times in the background. You'll use a little more resources, but you won't have to wait for it to open every time. If your mother board can handle it extra RAM and maybe an upgraded video card could take care of a lot of your problem with little expense.

this is about the only small yet fast one I know about

Google Chrome is supposed to be fast.

I run multiple programs doing work and sometimes need to quickly do a web search to referance something or get detailed information, translations, E.T.C.
my main browser is Firefox but with the customizations needed for my work it is a little slow to open so i am looking for the "notepad" version of a web browser. something that only opens a web page and maybe a simple popup blocker, nothing else. the goal is a streamlined though breed Racing web browser, not an every day work horse. can you suggest something like this to me?
if you think of firefox, opera, safari and Internet Explorer as versions of Photoshop, I need the MS Paint Browser.

have you tried mozilla?

Everybody I know uses Firefox. Internet Explorer 8 is a real drag, in many
ways and that is why Firefox is better. All in all. I configure my Mozilla browser
in anyway I like and see no downgraded performance, although there is one
thing. I have a very fast computer, in consideration of the amount of RAM I
have and stick memory, yet playing DVD's and even CD's is a problem. It
happens when I am connected to the internet.
If by "tiny" you mean not using a lot of resources, I don't think that there
is such a browser. Plug-ins play a large part in how your browser works.
But if you take out all the ESSENTIAL add-ons the browser will not work
properly and you will have problems achieving tasks on web platforms,
and there are many with many different types of software that make using
those sites feasible.

so far tonight my browser (Safari) has crashed a half dozen times while clicking in AB. Anyone else? this happens every once in awhile.

you ain't just whistling Dixie.
one of these days when i can get out from under the burdens that are weighing down my budget i am going to create the monster of all computers.
extra large case with the biggest, baddest mother of all mother boards.
at least 4GB of ram
three, 1 Tera byte hard drives with a fourth, high speed 40GB hard drive for (C:) operating system and ms office only
Pentium 4 dual core processor or better if availible by that time.
2 of the best blue ray capable DVD Burners
8 USB 2.0 ports
firewire port
the biggest, most powerful video and audio cards i can find
etc, etc, etc,
i would like to create the ultimate PC that skynet wishes it could have been. i want to turn this bad boy on and make the whole block brown out like a prison movie when they run the electric chair.
