[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1285309, member: 51052"] Firefox itself isn't that resource intensive, however the newer versions do have GPU acceleration, if this is enabled it will use the discrete card. That said, so will the flash plugin for Firefox. If you disable hardware acceleration in the preferences (under the General tab), and restart it shouldn't start the discrete card initially (until you run flash that is, and you'd be somewhat surprised what sites use flash).
