Chris Messina’s 50 minute video manifesto about where Mozilla ought to be taking itself is mighty impressive stuff. He’s obviously put a heap of though into his position, although I think that my Web Worker Daily colleague (I’m guest blogging there in May), Anne Zelenka’s response is possibly closer to the mark.
Here are my thoughts:

I don’t think that this issue is wholly with Safari. And I think it’s a little unfair for the article to imply so.
Browsers these days are complex beasts; they need to render (X)HTML and CSS properly (or not…), provide supporting frameworks for who knows how many mimetypes and plugins, run multiple tabs, be extensible [...]
This is possibly the coolest Firefox extension in its space (tagging) ever! del.icio.us tags everywhere!

Nice.
More information to light on the previously mentioned Firefox memory [...]

This is NOT NEW INFORMATION, it’s around eight months old now. But I’ve just come across it.
If like me, you’re a dedicated user of Firefox, you may have noticed that it has a tendency to leak memory like a sieve. So much so that for me, there are distinct stability issues with it [...]
It’s been busted for a while now. Yay!
