Firefox 3 goes on a diet, eats less memory than IE and Opera
one of the biggest reasons why I was avoiding ff. will install the beta 
FF3 beta 4 is doing very good. I haven’t seen it eating much memory, javascript loading is faster, and definitely feels lot more snappier than FF2 or opera. Most popular add-ons are already ported, so makes life much easier
I’m downloading ff3 b4…
Is this beta version stable enough to be used as regular browser or just for feel purpose?.
I’ve been trying FF3 since beta2 (now I’m on b4) and I don’t see any of the performance (speed/memory) improvements compared to FF2. Maybe it’s because I am on an old single-core P4 Even the memory is showing 65 mb (similar to FF2) with just one tab (this forum) open…
Dunno about the article, but I have been using it for some days now and I feel its slower than the previous versions… lots of bugs too… especially in forums… When posting messages the cursor stops blinking and just shows a continuos line… so I can’t know the cursor position and I am typing blind…

Thats impressive if other unsolved bugs are not too serious.
OK now I officially hate the beta version…:@
I just restarted my machine and all my bookmarks are gone…kaput…
100+ bookmarks gone… now i have to add them again as I did not keep a backup…:@ :@
my IE has only half of them…
^^ Go to Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles*something*.default\bookmarkbackups
See if you can find it there.
Thanks a lot man…u saved me a lot of time…
a simple way to keep memory down is disable refreshing of pages and for ones that insist on doing it themselves then turn of graphics.
beta looks nice…
any idea when is da final version gonna be out ??
Have been using the beta from some time now. It’s pretty good. I had moved from firefox to opera but am moving back now. I especially love the new auto-complete bar. It is a brilliant feature. It auto-completes based on the website page title as well as the URL and also remembers your past visited sites ordered by visits.
For example, I visit ‘google.com/translate_t’ a lot. In Opera, it comes below all the other google pages ‘google.com/search**’. In firefox, now I only type ‘tran’ and it auto completes. 
Just wondering why the safari graph for safari stopped in between. May b it crashed during the test.. 
Installed beta 4 yesterday. Loved the looks.. Yet to explore the features…
