Re: Firefox 7.0 (Aurora channel) preview released
wow... They said on the blog that an average user would see 30% less memory usage. Well, I opened all 117 of my bookmarks to see what would happen between Firefox 5.0 and Firefox 7.0a2 and the results were amazing.
Firefox 5.0 used 1,286,916K of memory
Firefox 7.0 used 776,392K of memory
That is a reduction of 510,524K, which is 39.7% less system memory usage. Using half a gig less RAM!!
You guys should try this one out!

Re: Firefox 7.0 (Aurora channel) preview released
I am not getting that kind of drastic results but i am getting some improvements with Aurora. Dumb question, how in the world are you using such a low memory usage? because I am still using 110K of memory on aurora and am using 140k on Firefox.

What's with all these new Firefox versions lately... No more updating older versions? Like 3.6.18 and stuff? I still find 3.6.18 the best and I might roll back to that.
And what happened to Firefox 6.0? LOL they're trying to out update Chrome =.="

Re: Firefox 7.0 (Aurora channel) preview released
The leaps in numbers seem a little weird, but if they're trying to push out more significant updates in shorter time spans, I'm all for it. That memory usage comparison is amazing. Good to see progress made in that area since I've heard a lot of complaints about Firefox greedily eating memory.

Re: Firefox 7.0 (Aurora channel) preview released
was going well until it updated, now facebook won't load, nor will javascript, LR homepage and youtube are HTML only right now, unhappily rolling back to an older version of FF.
