The new beta version of Firefox 15 promises to use significantly less memory than its predecessors So did: 14 13 12 10 etc etc etc By now, it should be at almost Zero. FF has always had nasty memory leaks....and sure they get patched eventually but sheesh.....you'd think by now they'd have a handle on this. |

For that matter, Netscape had memory leaks. It's one of the few features to have been continuous through all iterations. |

Psuh, Firefox' memory usage is now so awesome, you actually GAIN memory by running it. |

FF15 and FF16, as I recall, have specific features added to deal with leaky/badly-written addons (which seem to be the worst cause of memory overuse nowadays) - this isn't just another "no, really, it'll be a little bit better again this time" announcement. |
