Firefox 3: Saying Goodbye To Firefox’s Memory Leaks?

Posted by Matt on September 21st, 2007

Mozilla Firefox’s god awful memory leaks might be a thing of the past once the third edition rolls around. Various people have been working hard at patching up what is commonly known as the browser’s biggest fault. Though sometimes touted as a feature, memory leaks has plagued the browser since the beginning. As I type this, my window of Firefox is pissing away a whopping 167 Megabytes of my hard earned memory.

Only one window and it’s on the google homepage right now. Mozilla slaps my face with the fox tail every day like this. Lets just hope Firefox 3 comes sooner than later. It’s estimated to be released sometime at the end of this year.
