Ask a Mozilla Person About Firefox 2.0

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the most-popular-browser-among-Slashdot-users dept.

Last week's interview guest was Dean Hachamovitch, formal title "general manager Internet Explorer at Microsoft Corp." This week we have Chris Beard, Mozilla's Vice President of Products. (Here's a recent "pre-Firefox 2 release" interview with Chris that you might want to look at to avoid duplicating questions.) Chris will be calling on other Mozilla and Firefox people to help answer your questions, but he's the point man here. Slashdot interview rules apply, as always.

  1. Memory leak? by benplaut · · Score: 2, Informative

    There has been a rather glaring memory leak since the Firebird days; it's not as bad today, but it's definately sill there. Is the problem found, waiting to be fixed, or can we expect just marginal improvements in Firefox 3?

    I don't mean to troll here, but how about spelling Firefox right when you send the questions?

    Jeez...

    Quit whinging about the look on Mac OS X. Firefox has a great theming system, and someone has already done the work to make it look good on Mac OS X: http://takebacktheweb.org/

    GrApple (Eos Pro) theme is seriously hot. Windows and Linux users ought to be jealous.
