Whatever happened to Firefox 2.0?

v2.0a is old news... (remember these are beta's... the version numbers mean nothing when compared to that of the next stable release)

And here I am stuck with 1.5.0.6.

If the memory allocation issue is resolved.. I'd consider it.

just having this page and agn forums open eats up 62mb of ram.

...You're joking. That makes Opera look like it eats no memory.

Opera eats less memory that firefox ever will navigating the same amount of pages with pictures.

Opera seems to have a memory leak though. If I idle it for awhile it starts taking up 60 megs doing nothing.

Plus it takes like 30 seconds for it to leave processes when I turn it off.

Both browsers have memory leaks. It's probably the most annoying thing about them.

K-Meleon's great for my Pentiums but it crashes often for me so it's not great :\

alpha 3.0a seems to have nightly updates released for it.

Extensions are mainly what keep me using Firefox exclusively.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Sun Aug 06, 2006 2:08 am

this can be installed/uninstaller along side the latest stable version without any problems.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 4:53 am

a recent update to 3.0a seems to have reduced memory usage down to 32mb - 36mb for this page and agn forums.

I don't get it why are they releasing Firefox 3.0 Alpha, when Firefox 2.0 is in Beta? Shouldn't they just add whatever changes in 3.0a into 2.0b?

i rather like this RC.

seems to use up less RAM, too.

So they might've fixed those memory leaks?

sweener2001 · Post by **sweener2001** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 6:56 am

can't quite say until all of my extensions and whatnot get updated.

but i had 4 tabs open, and it was using about 62 MB of RAM, which was equivalent to just 2 tabs, according to franpa.

inline spell checking is nice, as well. not since my short foray into linux have i had that. the default skin looks very nice, as well. i ALMOST don't need my other ones.

pretty smooth, though.

Firefox does not "leak" memory..
