Comment on This is why memory fragmentation is badparent

Comments

In FF6 (available right now on the Aurora channel and in the next few days on the Beta channel) and later versions you can go to about:memory and click on the "minimize memory usage" button at the bottom. Maybe do it a couple of times for luck.

We're working on improving things. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=656120 for another big improvement that will go into FF7.

Neat: will actually give me a reason to upgrade from 3.6.

That's a terribly depressing thread towards the end.

Yeah, risk management is really depressing when you get to it. Still needs to be done, though.

I'm not so sure. The price of getting releases out every 6 weeks is that we must be conservative with what we backport.
