Well I have very similar to Pat
Except I am still XP so will remain at IE8 as IE9
needs a different MS OS

As well as FF OPera and Chrome
I have Pale Moon which is really the same as FF
but especially tuned for Windows - it loads faster
and much less memory usage - but all the FF Addons.

Also Rockmelt which is a social network focussed
browser - but seems to do browser things. A
Facebook cousin suggested it. I am not yet sold on it.

Which brings me to a question I tend to use Chrome
for Ancestry.com searches as I found that FF and
PM both have problems finishing loading pages when
I am into deep drilling down searches within
Ancestry. Suddenly page finishes but is blank. I
looked at Forums and other reporting same but
seemed to be no resolution.

Whereas Chrome doesn't really have any problems
drilling through several Ancestry pages and
opening new tabs.

However I like PM/FF for Table2clipboard Addon
with Ancestry.
Chrome has Table Capture which just doesn't have
the Table2clip functions.

I run CCLEANER to clear caches etc

Anyone experienced similar?
