Add on FasterFox and get you a cool theme.
I have the Halloween theme to gaze at.
I much prefer FireFox to the Microsoft junk and have been using FireFox for close to five years, now. They're better at blocking pop-ups, too.

There are a few add ons I'd recommend:
Adblock Plus (blocks ads for you):
http://adblockplus.org/en/
Download Statusbar (shows your download progress a lot easier):
http://downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org/
Google Toolbar (highly recommended):
http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/tool...
IE Tab (lets you view sites in a tab using IE for the sites which don't work in Firefox due to restrictions):
http://ietab.mozdev.org/
It also depends on your interests and stuff. Look through the Firefox popular add-ons to find more which interest you:

Add-ons are one of the great things about Firefox, i'd strongly recommend using some (they can be quite helpful!)
Hope that helps!
Open Firefox. Go to Tools, Add-ons, click on Themes [to change the way the browser looks] by downloading the one you want, or Extensions [programs to make the browser function better]. Just open the Mozilla Firefox icon created on the Windows desktop after your download.
Warning: Most websites that's created for Windows that uses Java or ActiveX won't be opened in Firefox. Most games sites created for Windows can't be opened using Firefox or Mozilla [another browser created by Mozilla, Inc.]

These are all excellent addons that won't eat away at the memory that much and will typically only have Firefox's memory usage rise up to 60 MB (very little for a browser).
And to spice up things a bit, here are some themes that I like and you'll probably enjoy:
Vista Firefox 2:

Yeah, I know, it doesn't have an official add-on page...
Noia 2.0 eXtreme:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox...
I prefer Noia, though.
Anyways, these are my personal favorites, and they're a pretty good combination of addons since they don't use up much RAM, are simple but powerful, and simply because they're all little extra goodies you can use! By the way, AdBlock Plus is the best of them all. It blocks all ads!
Oh yeah, I'm not recommending IE View or IE Tab simply because it messes Firefox up and typically crashes the browser. Why not just open up IE when viewing an IE-only site?
Click TOOLS in Firefox and see the various options.
Minimum recommended:
1.To switch over to IE

2.To block advertisementts/ picture etc

3. To enable /disable javascript etc
