If Firefox really have fixed the issues with memory leaking, I might go back to using it more again. I was one of those developers that switched over to Chrome like the majority, I have a feeling for some it's a little too late for Firefox to be fixing an issue that has plagued the browser since around version 1.5.
I still recall years ago Mozilla even denying that there was a memory leak and were always quick to blame plugins for the leaks and while that's true in some instances to an extent, Chrome showed us that bad plugins can be managed correctly and not break your browser performance.
Giving it a shot now, Firefox can't afford to blow this again.
