Firefox Working to Fix Memory Leaks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the important-but-boring-work dept.

Christopher Blanc writes "Many Mozilla community members, including both volunteers and Mozilla Corporation employees, have been helping to reduce Firefox's memory usage and fix memory leak bugs lately. Hopefully, the result of this effort will be that Firefox 3 uses less memory than Firefox 2 did, especially after it has been used for several hours." Here's hoping. Frequent restarts of things on my computer make me furious. I can't imagine why anyone would tolerate such things.

    And incorrectly. Among foxit's many, numerous bugs is the inability to correctly number the pages, which makes it pretty fucking hard to discuss the document with someone who uses foxit, because eventually you will say "It's on page 8" and they will say "page 8 is blank!" and then you will find out that they use foxit and then you will just have to stop talking to them or possibly beat them to a bloody pulp for wasting so much of your time.

    Not that I'm bitter. I'm just really tired of people saying "XYZ is faster than ABC" when the reason XYZ is faster is because it does half of everything incorrectly.
