Is firefox getting old?

I'm sure many people have noticed that with every update, firefox seems to get larger and slower. We first thought this could have been due to the many plugins that we have installed (the web-develper being one). So we disabled all plugins and still when compared to google chrome it is alot slower.

Will this mean that google is taking over another area of our lives? It may well do, with the % of usuage every increasing for chrome, and both firefox and internet explorer falling, it is looking increasingly likely that by the end of 2012 Chrome could be the browser.

We have however noticed one very annoying flaw in google chrome, when using on a netbook (yes we know not many people use them!), the width of the sites do not resize, and you still get the scroll bar at the bottom, which is a great shame, for if any computer needs assistance with memory usuage it is a netbook running 1gb of ram with windows!
