As far as memory usage goes, it is using far fewer resources as well:
Prior:
iexplore.exe was using 49,428k
Now:
firefox.exe is using only 22,996k
One question, explorer.exe is still running in the background. Do I need it? If not, how can I shut it off?

explorer.exe is needed by the OS for running other apps that are part of the OS like "my computer" and "control panel" etc... leave it running.
