200 tabs? Leaving the browser open for days? You guys have some ODD usage patterns.
No, that is the correct response.
I'm an old fart from back in the days when you paid $200 for a single 8 megabyte stick of RAM. So the idea of a web browser using hundreds of megabytes of RAM seems really stupid. But sometimes you have get over it and drag yourself into the modern world. When you can buy 16 Gig of DDR3 RAM for $99 who cares how much memory Firefox uses?
You don't have to. Close and Restore Session.Some of us work on a PC for living.. I leave multiple reference documents etc open on my PC during projects. Projects which span days/weeks. I don't want to close them all and have to re-find material/pages.
During those times Firefox generally slows to a crawl.
Hm... maybe someone who doesn't live in the US and pay huge cash for a lot less RAM?
I hate it because after a week or two half of the letters on my keyboard cause pornhub to pop up when I start typing in the address barAnd why the fuck did they remove the ability to keep your history for a specific time... kind of annoying to have some website I viewed a few months ago still pop up when I start typing "asian school girl whores"

What is the difference of releasing 4.1 over 5, or 4.2 over 6? You're crying about browser updates and fixes.. A Number is meaningless, unless you got something horribly coded.Look... Seriously Firefox FUCK OFF with your constant new versions. You are my favorite web browser but I will dump your as like a fat chick after I just sobered up. Look your new versions have bloody RA RA RA.. 4, 5 and 6 were all the bloody same. Not a damn thing that constituted an entire new version number.. Lets look at this ridiculous version history comparing Firefox 3 against 4/5/6 combined
Firefox 3 - 3.0a2, 3.0a3, 3.0a4, 3.0a5, 3.0a6, 3.0a7, 3.0a8, 3.0b1, 3.0b2, 3.0b3, 3.0b4, 3.0b5, 3.0 RC1, 3.0 RC2, 3.0 RC3, 3, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.4, 3.0.5, 3.0.6, 3.0.7, 3.0.8, 3.0.9, 3.0.10, 3.0.11, 3.0.12, 3.0.13, 3.0.14, 3.0.15, 3.0.16, 3.0.17, 3.0.18, 3.0.19, 3.1a2, 3.1b1, 3.1b2, 3.1b3, 3.5b4, 3.5b99, 3.5 RC1, 3.5 RC2, 3.5 RC3, 3.5, 3.5.1, 3.5.2, 3.5.3, 3.5.4, 3.5.5, 3.5.6, 3.5.7, 3.5.8, 3.5.9, 3.5.10, 3.5.11, 3.5.12, 3.5.13, 3.5.14, 3.5.15, 3.5.16, 3.5.17, 3.5.18, 3.5.19, 3.6b1, 3.6b2, 3.6b3, 3.6b4, 3.6b5, 3.6 RC1, 3.6 RC2, 3.6, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 3.6.3plugin1, 3.6.4, 3.6.6, 3.6.7, 3.6.8, 3.6.9 3.6.10, 3.6.11, 3.6.12, 3.6.13, 3.6.14, 3.6.15, 3.6.16, 3.6.17, 3.6.18, 3.6.19, 3.6.20,

Now according to Wikipedia they expect to release Version 9, yes VERSION 9 before the year is out.... Seriously fuck off Mozilla.

this. As long as firefox runs ok, I don't care if it took up 4GB of ram. back in the day, I had several autoexec.bat files on several different floppies depending on what task I was doing. RAM was expensive, and we had to use every little bit as possible. Now, not a single fuck is given. I can run very demanding applications and not use all of my 8GB. My next rig will probably have 16 GB for no reason other than having it.No, that is the correct response.

Which is exactly why we have such shitty programming practices in the first place.
Firefox should have fixed their memory issues back in v2 instead of waiting several years to get around to it.
50% less is still about 600% too much.
Lmao...it's funny how there was JUST a thread about Firefox 6 being released..and already this. Anyways, I use Chrome now, Firefox has lost me.
Uh.... wha? You are annoyed that Firefox has a more frequent major version number release schedule, so you switched to the browser that pretty much invented that practice?
Chrome is great and all, but if that's pretty much the stupidest possible reason for switching.
