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.

    No, instead they sat down and blamed it on:

    * Page caching.
    * Extensions.
    * Users being unable to read the memory usage column correctly.
    * Lots of tiny flaws adding up (as opposed to known GC/allocator issues).

    I'm sure I'm missing some bogus Firefox-fanboi excuses. They may not be completely ignoring the massive memory leaks that Firefox 2.0 still has, but they sure as hell aren't communicating that they are actually looking into them and have any intention of fixing them.

    Why don't you?

    The source is right there, and anyone can go file a bug.

    If you're not going to help, stop whining and get out of the way of people that ARE.
