i realized starting from firefox 1.5, when opening alot tabs obviously the memory increases but when later you close the tabs and just leave one tab open, the memory doesnt decrease.

Bcos I surf multiple pages at one time Firefox always runs around 90mb-120mb.

This is not an issue in Safari or Opera for Windows.

manutddotcom, that because FF got feature that can reload ur closed tab. means that FF store ur closed tab in memory. no wonder ur ram usage not decrease after close the tab.restart ur FF will solve that

But Firefox should have just save the link instead of caching the pages.
Recently closed tab is not some function we often use.

I hate the home button moved to down.And the back and forward button no nice man.

u can customize it back to top

How ?i cant.

I didnt noticed any changes also?

automatically updated this moring

so the Firefox 3 still huge memory eater? , i thought it's been fixed...

erm, agreed... is there any way to make it enable/usable all those extension used on Firefox 2?

You need to be in the customize toolbar window in order to move it. Simply drag and drop the home into your desired place on the toolbar.

Haizz....I hope Firefox won't end up like IE. They need to understand that too much memory will lead to lagg. Yea, I understand Americans have 2gb more on their pcs, but they should also know about us here in the Asia.

wish new version got option to enable / disable reload tab thingy. can save memory space.

Apparently you can disable it but not through the option menu.

In the browser address bar, type about:config then enter

search for browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers
change the value to 0.

Also to limit the amount of ram usage by firefox, read here.

I thought the tech enthusiast is already going for at least 4GB? I'm seeing Malaysia children's computer having 2GB RAM.

this extension is a must, for those who are trying nightly/beta build

or just turn off any craps that running on background before running firefox

the fonts are bigger in my 12 inches widescreen now.

I think I change to Maxthon browser... It is like firefox initially.. now its becoming more like IE.. Slower now to start up the browser...
