  • Firefox 6 'Released' Two Days Early
  • The official release for Firefox 6 is scheduled for this Tuesday, but Mozilla has already thrown up the installation files on its FTP for industrious and impatient users to download and install
  • A lot of the changes coming in Firefox 6 are under-the-hood fixes designed to increase the speed and compatibility of the browser. For example, Firefox 6 will now speed up its startup time for those with a ton of tabs and groups: Users will be able to decide whether they want to load up all of their tab groups at the browser's launch, or load these tabs up within the browser's Panorama grouping tool.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The final "big change" that non-developer Firefox users will notice is Mozilla's new treatment of domain names within the browser's address bar. Domain names are now tinted with a small highlight, just to make it easier for users to tell what site they're on after a quick glance at the address bar
  • Other improvements to Firefox 6 include a performance boost for Linux users, as well as increased support for developers in the form of a Scratchpad tool for testing JavaScript within the browser and an improved version of the browser's Web Console
  • Firefox 6 'Released' Two Days Early
  • official release for Firefox 6 is scheduled for this Tuesday
  • A lot of the changes coming in Firefox 6
  • A new permissions tool (accessed by typing "about:permissions" in the browser's address bar) will give users a chance to set site-specific permission levels for saved passwords, cookies, location-sharing, pop-ups, and images, to name a few options.

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
