Firefox 3: Did They Plug the Memory Leak??

Lifehacker Top 10: Top 10 Firefox 3 Features

I’m catching up on my Lifehacker feed tonight and I came across this post on some of the new features found in Firefox 3. Features are nice, but performance is even better. According to the post, Firefox memory consumption plateaus at less than Opera 9.5 and IE7. This is a far different from the current version, where, over a period of hours, the memory usage will creep up to 300-400MB’s of RAM.

There was one instance last week that brought the Fox’s memory
consumption up to 744MB’s. After reading this post tonight, I’m pretty
excited about trying out the new Firefox!
