Mozilla shrinks Firefox's memory appetite by 20%-30% - Computerworld - 0 views

  • Mozilla shrinks Firefox's memory appetite by 20%-30%
  • Mozilla's Firefox 7, slated to ship in late September, will be significantly faster because of work done plugging the browser's memory leaks, a company developer says
  • Mozilla developer Nicholas Nethercote credited the "MemShrink" project for closing memory bugs in the browser and producing a faster Firefox
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • often 20% to 30% less, and sometimes as much as 50% less
  • "Firefox 7 uses less memory than Firefox 6 (and 5 and 4)
  • This means that Firefox 7 is faster (sometimes drastically so) and less likely to crash, particularly if you have many websites open at once and/or keep Firefox running for a long time between restarts
  • Firefox has long been criticized for using large amounts of RAM
  • for not releasing memory when tabs are closed
  • practices that can degrade the browser's performance
  • extreme cases
  • crash or lock up
  • Mozilla has tried to stop the leaks before
  • If Mozilla maintains its rapid-release schedule, which results in a new edition every six weeks, the final version of Firefox 7 will ship Sept. 27

Firefox 6: A Firefox too far? (Review) | ZDNet - 0 views

  • For many years, it was the best Web browser around.
  • Mozilla got serious about improving it
  • The other Web browser developers have caught up and surpassed Firefox.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • last few versions of Firefox haven’t been that good
  • I’ve found one Web site, my bank as it happens, that works fine with Firefox, but it doesn’t recognize Firefox 6 as being a valid Web browser.
  • This version of Firefox also does much better than previous versions at managing memory
  • I know that Firefox 7 will have better memory management. I also know that Firefox 7 is due out on September 27th
  • Firefox 6, the newest version, is better than Firefox 5, but it’s not that great either.
  • Just because Mozilla developers are paid to keep up with constant change doesn’t mean that individual developers or small independent software vendors (ISV)s can keep up.
  • I ran not only Firefox, but Chrome 13 and Internet Explorer (IE) 9 to see how Firefox 6 compared to its chief rivals
  • Firefox, once more, didn’t do well on Web standards.
  • Firefox really fell behind with 4,588 points. On this benchmark, IE surged ahead with a score of 8,343 to Chrome 13’s 8,010.
  • The other browsers are better
  • I wish I coud still recommend Firefox, but I can’t.

Mozilla Firefox 6, what people are saying - Tech Talk - CBS News - 0 views

  • It seems like just weeks ago we were updating to Firefox 5... Yup, that was just weeks ago
  • Now with Firefox 6, we're provided with a straightforward collection of security updates and tweaks.
  • "more substantial improvements" will come with Firefox 7, including a new JavaScript engine that "uses much less memory."
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Because Firefox 6 is not a major overhaul, the reviews are sparse, but people are still expressing their opinions.
  • Firefox 6 for desktops and laptops contains a number of important stability fixes, as well as some feature improvements, most of which are aimed at developers. There's a new Web Developer menu in Firefox 6, which collates tools for building and debugging Web sites into one location
  • Scratchpad tool, which browsers like Opera and Chrome have had for some time. It allows developers to test JavaScript before implementing it. The web console feature also has a new auto-complete option and can have its location customized
  • 10 major security fixes, including "a WebGL crash, a JavaScript crash, a crash in the Ogg reader, memory safety issues and unsigned scripts. These all affected Firefox 4 and 5.
  • Congrats to Mozilla on shipping Firefox 6
  • Firefox 6 highlights for me: server sent events, web sockets (albeit vendor prefixed) and dataList support."
  • yay, Firefox 6 supports the latest Websocket spec, and finally added eventsource support - long overdue! downloading.
