Summary: Firefox 3 Beta 2 versus Firefox 2 Memory Usage
Comments:
Very heavy surfing for half an hour with Firefox 2 used 651.5 Meg of RAM
and slowed it down a lot.
Surfing the same sites for the same time with Firefox 3 Beta 2 used 148
Meg and didn't slow it down.
I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2 with 1 Gig of RAM on a 3 GHz Pentium 4
chip. The memory usage figures were from Windows Task Manager.

open nine windows and leave those open all the time. the browser is
open for days and days. each of the initial nine windows has multiple
tabs -- 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 11, 16, 18. after a few days, the real memory

Summary: high cpu usage on firefox 3 beta 2 and beta 3
Comments:
I really like the new firefox betas, but they really drag down my
system. I have about 18 tabs that I keep open. With these tabs open if
firefox 2, I have an occasional spike of cpu usage when idle, but it is
0% most of the time. But with the betas, firefox is constantly
consuming 50% of my cpu, and sometimes it jumps to 100% and I have to
kill firefox before my system is usable again. Beta 3 seems to be nicer
in the se...

Second installment of my feedback.
When bookmarking pages, you cant drag site into a bookmark folder, there
isn't even a organize bookmarks button in the bookmarks dropdown. Also,
when dragging the bookmarks (in the bookmark menu) it would be nice if
the menu didn't disappear.
That's all for now.

There some bugs I've found and some features I miss.
Saving tabs when Firefox closes doesn't work
I don't know why. I have closed Firefox and saved opened tabs. I started
Firefox again and nothing happened. I wasn't able to find it nowhere in
bookmarks. I have turned off saving history. Maybe it's connected with it.

I like the layout of the toolbars, seems more high-techy, if you
understand what I mean. The spell check thing is also much more helpful
than in Firefox 2.
However I literally just downloaded the beta and three things I quickly
noticed off the bat:
In your History, you cannot right click a folder (i.e. "Today" or
"Yesterday") and press delete, you can delete individual sites, but not
entire folders.
Second thing, when I started typing in a URL, I ...

When doing the CTRL + F to find a word on the site, sometimes the bottom
of the word stays in the search box after you delete the word, leaving
little, sometimes annoying marks.
