Mozilla Firefox 7 Released – Lots of new features in the latest version of the browser favored by Sciencetext (even Chrome, simply for keyword searches etc).
Best new “feature” is that they finally fixed the memory issues that have plagued Firefox users for years so that in
version 7, memory/ RAM usage is cut in some circumstances by up to 50%, which is actually quite a big deal. They also say they have at long last fixed the notorious memory leaks that made memory usage increase gradually while you’re using the browser.
This is what Mozilla has to say about the latest release:
“Firefox 7 uses less memory than Firefox 6 (and 5 and 4): often 20% to 30% less, and sometimes as much as 50% less. In particular, Firefox 7?s memory usage will stay steady if you leave it running overnight, and it will free up more memory when you close many tabs.”
