To counter your anecdote with another, different anecdote with more numbers in it, back in the days of Firefox 4 and subsequent versions, it would not be unusual for my Firefox to hit 500MB to 1GB of RAM usage after a day of browsing. Right now, my Firefox 15 has been running for a day, and about:memory says the total is 363.26MB. Firefox has slimmed down a lot in the past year.
- smsm42 14y agoWell, maybe I'll give it a try soon again. I did about a year ago and was re-disappointed.
- nnethercote 14y agoThe first big post-FF4 improvements were in FF7, which was released in September last year. See http://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2011/08/09/firefox-7-is-lean-and-fast-2/ http://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2011/08/09/firefox-7-is-... for some details. And things have improved quite a bit more since FF7.
