I'm a great believer in that. However, bugs have been fixed, memory leaks plugged, rendering times improved. Personally the promise of more effcicient memory use has me chomping at the bit - FF runs like molasses on my 768MB Athlon 1.1GHz.


Thanks for the info. Perhaps it will soon be time to upgrade on my Ubuntu netbook (roughly the same RAM/CPU specs).
