No official news from Mozilla yet, but it seems like it's leaked.
Or somebody named the files wrongly. -
It's confirmed in the recent meeting notes.

According to some alpha testers, it has some improvements. But I'm not so sure. They are fanboys of Firefox.Originally posted by abao:me aso waiting

First beta could be out tomorrow or maybe on Saturday SG time.
Anyone can confirm the news? -
Why the later the version, the more disk space it takes, more ram it uses, and more functions equals more complication. why can't make a simple, clean, google-like program like utorrent, a simple efficient firefox.

It's the users... users want this, users want that... in the end, everything also put in.Originally posted by Fire Star:Why the later the version, the more disk space it takes, more ram it uses, and more functions equals more complication. why can't make a simple, clean, google-like program like utorrent, a simple efficient firefox. -
maybe they should start releasing a parallel version that has few gimmicks and more resource friendly.
-
I would prefer if the remove the database way of handling bookmarks. It's not really needed and open up the browser to more bugs, resource handling issues and security problems.

yes me too. my firefox lags like hell when i open mulitiple tabs or visit certain websites.Originally posted by abao:me aso waiting

furthermore i'm using a old PIII computer.

PIII doesnt mean its lousy. A PIII 1Ghz with 512MB ram can still be very smooth.Originally posted by Gordonator:yes me too. my firefox lags like hell when i open mulitiple tabs or visit certain websites.

my com will be celebrating it's 7th birthday soon early next year. -
This might help. I haven't faced much problems with Firefox memory leaking ever since I found this trick.

Mine the browser.cache.memory.capacity is set at 14436. Works fine for me usually but in image intensive pages and image dumps, ram usage can go up to a range of 120-300mb.
After the page finish loading, ram usage will then reduce by about half. Closing the existing page will reduce the ram usage by <5% and FF will remain stable at that level until browser is closed.
Anyways, I running noscript, firebug, adblockplus and ietab together so i dun really complain abt FF using too much of my ram, since all of these extensions are resource heavy. -
I have an immense urge to advertise Opera again.

opera is indeed the fastest loading browser, but my own testes doesnt show tt it is more resource friendly than the current FF.Originally posted by LatecomerX:I have an immense urge to advertise Opera again.
