Don’t care what anyone says, I’m convinced Firefox is poorly developed.
Before I was introduced to Opera browser, I used to be an avid fan of Firefox. However one day when Firefox was at version 1.5, or there bout's, a version was released which had a really bad memory leak.
I currently have version 3.0.11 installed and it still seems to suffer from memory leaks now-n-then.
I’ve had Firefox & Opera running for 4 days now. Opera I use for everything (except Facebook since it seems to be a little buggy with FBChat). Firefox I use for Facebook and testing cutup’s.
So after 4 days, Firefox is up to 640mb of memory, Opera with about 15 tabs is using 250mb.
Here’s a picture of both Firefox and Opera running side by side.
