I love the firefox web browser according to standards.But it's all the more
hateable for its memory leaks.Since it's first version it's carrying this bloatedness in it.Isn't bloatedware banned in Open source?I would prefer it to concentrate first only on its memory leak and continue for other features later
It is the best browser at the moment. Its faster, smarter, better looking, and more free than IE. The ability to install addons and themes are simply genius. This makes browsing a whole lot more fun. I simply cannot think of any browser better than this one, so dont bother looking further - this is your stop.
Ever since I've turned down IE for FF, I've never looked back. Firefox made a lot of new functionality that are included in many more browser, such as the add-on system. It enables user to add or remove functionalities from Firefox, making it the most customizable browser ever. There is however some downside. Memory usage. Firefox uses a lot of memory. Partly because it was founded on another old browser, partly because it had an exponential growth. However, never version tend to correct a lot of the memory leaks, and Firefox 3 uses a lot less memory than Firefox 2, which brought a lot of GUI changes.
Firefox for me is all about the range of plugins that allows you to get so much more effectiveness, especially when web developing, carrying out research or search engine optimisation (SEO).
Make sure you have Firebug, Web Developer Toolbar, ColorZilla, Customize Google, Greasemonkey, IE Tab, Live HTTP headers, Screen grab!, SearchStatus, SHhowIp and SwitchProxy Tool.
Firefox was great browser in 2008. But then Google Chrome released.
Right now Firefox releases one browser version per 6-12 months, this is very slow.
With Chrome, users receive latest HTML5 things instantly, web-developers don't need to care about 'browser versions', because all users got latest Chrome.
I hope that FX and other browsers in the future would be developed as fast as Chrome.
While Firefox 3 may not include many new user interface features, it appears that Mozilla has finally fixed Firefox's many memory leaks and resource management. Not only is the browser considerably faster at loading, the rendering speed of Ajax-heavy pages, or Web 2.0 websites, is likewise 2-3 times faster. I also really like the improved GTK theme integration on Linux. This latest release is definitely worth checking out, and offers a considerable backend improvement over Firefox 2.
