Firefox 3 RC2

Just downloaded, seems so far to be a bit less of a resource hog than RC1 was, but of course it's only been running for a few minutes (200MB on a 4GB system vs 300MB that I've seen creep up to 1.2GB when left open overnight). Off to play a round or two of DTD to see if Flash murders it as was previously the case.

Starting to get pretty polished, and I've been using 3 since beta 2. Couple of visual quirks/disagreements on OS X but otherwise I'm happy with it.

What is everyone else's experience so far?

Good god, have they STILL not fixed the memory leaks?! That's why I'm using Safari on my mac. I refuse to use Firefox until the absurd memory leakage is at least abated, if not fixed outright. (Plus, a cocoa-native app would be nice.)

I'm really enjoying RC1 at the moment, thanks for the heads up on RC2.
