Although I love Firefox and use it as my main browser...
1) Will this one also leak memory non-stop? Will Mozilla continue to ignore and not address the problem, rather than releasing user-implemented workarounds? 2) Will it still be slow to startup? 3) Will there still be severe tab lag when opening lots of tabs at once?
Ok, so this isn't even related to this post... but yea. Mozilla, come on, please =(
I love you guys but you gotta fix these issues ...
And yes they have gone on through multiple reformats. I can't track down the exact problem so its useless submitting a bug report.
I would hope that with the tiny main RAM of these phones, they wouldn't leak memory, but I think you can see why they are waiting until after Firefox 3 to work on this. Also, if you haven't heard, the Firefox 3 Alphas/Nightly builds use a lot less RAM and are generally more responsive than Firefox 2. Although there is still a while till 3 releases, and part of the speed may be because only one of my extensions (out of a usual 10 or so) works with the nightlies, I have great confidence that Firefox 3 will be a much better upgrade than 2 was. The bookmarking system is really much better, and I love the way the address bar autocompletes based on web page titles and tags too, not just the URL which most of the time you don't remember.
