Mozilla seems to have lost focus. Firefox still has massive memory leaks; it's not uncommon for me to come home at the end of the day to find FF using 3.8GB out of the 4GB I have, and my Linux box thrashing like crazy. Typically the culprit is Facebook's homepage. But I'd love to see Mozilla spend their effort on first making Firefox great. Memory leaks in FF aren't a new thing.

- Zikes 13y agoSince this is a project of the Mozilla Foundation, not the Mozilla Corporation, it does not necessarily "steal resources" from the Firefox development team. The Mozilla Corporation is no more or less free to improve the browser based on what the Mozilla Foundation chooses to do in its non-profit capacity, except where the Mozilla Foundation's projects improve on the concepts and ideas of the internet and computing as a whole, such as what this project does.
- sp332 13y agoFirefox is really aggressive about memory leaks. In fact in recent versions they kill off certain extensions that leave too much unused data in RAM. You should ask in the #firefox channel on irc.mozilla.org, they would help you track down the problem.
