Firefox 3 RC2 - bit-tech.net Forums

Firehed · 5th Jun 2008, 04:02

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?

just upgraded the windows version, and hopefully it hits portage soon, a bit too soon to tell if theres any difference yet thou

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.
