I've got a super lightweight AND super cheap laptop Has 2GB RAM It's one of those tablet/laptop

I'm super careful about what I install - fear of hogging my system Like clogging the registry or something!!

If I install firefox and dont use that often... Will it use any resources or clogg my system in anyway?

If I uinstall... are there remains left over?

Thanks

No program should be using anything unless it is running.

Note that this does not include background programs. These run all the time. Anti-virus, maintenance programs . . . . .
