"When Firefox launched in beta release five years ago, it burst on the open-source browser scene like a young Elvis Presley - slim, sexy and dangerous. Since then it has attracted millions of users, generally set the agenda for browser development and unseated Microsoft's IE as the de facto monopoly in the field. But, with Firefox 3.0 poised for release later this year, the 'IE killer' is in danger of morphing into an early Fat Elvis, if increasing numbers of die-hard fans turned reluctant critics are any guide."

Firefox has always been a 'Fat Elvis'.
I find it amazing that people believe it's a 'light browser'. But I do agree that web pages are getting way too bloated in general.
There are so many web pages that have javascript and I can never work out what it's being used for.
For some reason people forgot that a webpage is just a document with hyperlinks. I blame graphic designers and programmers those that never learnt real programming.
