Firefox + Mac OS X = rock steady


Firefox 3 is out its pretty decent, been using it for a day or two and its great. It is a lot snappier and has a mac(ish) look and feel. I'm not sure about the claims on drastically lower memory usage, its still at about 280 MB main memory usage for about 145 tabs. Yes! 145. Thats about the same as firefox 2 took. And just for the record the screenshot below shows firefox 2 with 401 tabs. Yes! 401. That's the maximum I've reached, and they're all legit useful tabs opened over a long duration. If I remember correctly 401 tabs took about 350 MB space and CPU usage hovered around the 4 - 5 % mark. Like the title says rock steady.
