v12?!. They really have gone crazy about versioning. Back when it was v3 - they used 3.6.24, 3.6.25 etc for minor updates. And then going up a version when major things changed.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases - 6 week release cycle incrementing the version number each time?! Firefox 12 beta is probably available soon too...
Apparently FF7 "uses as much as 50% less memory than Firefox 4" - Nope it doesn't, still the same ever increasing bloated browser.
- girishmony 15y agoFirefox somewhat follows Google Chrome in this version increase. If you check Chrome's version you will find the same.
- thristian 15y agoIn the bad old days of Firefox, I used to see it taking 500MB, 800MB, sometimes even a gigabyte of RAM. It's gotten a lot better since then. I'm running Firefox 11 (on the Aurora channel) right now, and with a fairly typical tab load, about:memory tells me Firefox is using less than 300MB. I'm impressed.
- girishmony 15y agome too! and I am quite surprised to see his comment. Infact some blog posts came explaining why Chrome takes more memory than Firefox
