[Peggy]

figures. I'm on the mailing list too, and haven't heard a thing. Imma gonna go get it right now.

 

[Dragapult]

Beta version? Have you not upgraded to the Gold release yet?

He could mean Minefield, the perpetual testing releases of sorts. I use it myself, because it always gets the latest features usually months before they show up in Firefox.

 

[Peggy]

Yeah, it was released yesterday .

ummmm I just went to download it, and it's still beta version 11 on mozilla.com. There's no official word anywhere that I googled, that ff stable has been released?

Yep I know. I finally got it, but had to use IE to do it.

 

[Erik]

It's good, but not good enough to move me away from Chrome.

<-- Ironic, I know.

 

[Didzi]

I mostly use Chrome at the moment, but also use FireFox and IE9

 

[Paul Wernham]

hmm never used chrome, been a firefox fan for a while, might just give it a go.

Firefox is using enormous amount of ram (500-700 Mb) is anyone experiencing this problem?

 

[jmurrayhead]

Mine is using about 370 MB.

 

[Jaxel]

Mine is using about 370 MB.

See thats just too much still... When Chrome runs on 60MB...

Not even close. 310 on mine.

 

[mrGTB]

Not even close here also. Firefox is only using 174mb max according to Windows XP task manager

Using FF 4 right now and really loving it. The only issue I've found, as with previous Mac versions, if you leave it open long enough, the active memory gets piled on. Easy to fix, but still annoying to have to quit to free up the memory (right now it's at about 500mb).

 

[Tempest]

It rarely uses more than 320mb of ram for me (wouldn't matter if it used 500, I've got 8GB ram >->). I'm using 4.0 and I'm loving it. Chrome isn't the best for security and that's always been a hassle for me since my computer itself only has meager free antivirus and spyware protection. Also, the adblock extension on chrome doesn't work as well as the one for FireFox. I'm going to try it now on my iMac and see how it goes, I've only tried the new FireFox on Windows 7.

Chrome is too basic, it doesn't even display RSS Feeds by default.
