It’s really not bad if you have the memory to spare....currently, my Firefox is at 312 Megs....but I have 8 Gigs of ram so it really doesn’t matter.
The rule of thumb, no matter how much memory you have in your system is that Windows is gonna want as much as it can possibly use. It doesn’t matter if you have 1 gig or 8 gig, Windows itself will try and keep as much memory for itself as it can. Robbing memory hogging applications of total available memory.
Best advantage of my Firefox is the automatic spell-checker on all web pages (including FreeRepublic) with the misspelled word highlighted and a selection of recommendation under the right mouse button.
What are the advantages of going to this version from the current?
