      I find it interesting how the parent post is modded "-1, Flamebait" at the moment. Sure, there is stuff to read about the leak, and plans to read about fixing that "leak", and he might have been a little too ignorant to read those. But come on, "flamebait"?

    It's called "being considerate" and "playing nice with others". I know... novel concepts around these parts.

    Yea! And all those Windows users should also be ashamed of themselves for not using IE! And don't even get me started on Linux users who don't use Lynx. Using Linux with a graphical program! How irresponsible!

    I totally agree : on my 32 bit PC, Firefox uses only 2 Gb RAM !

    With a 64 bit version of Firefox, it could use a lot more.

    This is good, but can't we put the responsibility on the system where it *really* belongs? Viruses, not Firefox, should inform the AV system when malicious code is about to executed.
