The game-changing improvements in Firefox 7.0 surround its memory usage and optimization. Mozilla claims that Firefox 7 reduces memory usage by at least 20 percent, and as much as 50 per cent in some cases, while still delivering improved startup and page-loading times, as well as overall responsiveness.


<Continued in link>

ITS A GAME CHANGER!

Wait... didn't 6 come out last month or so?

I haven't used Firefox in quite some time do to issues with it crashing and sucking up tons of RAM. Those of you who are using Firefox 7, how is it treating you so far?

Didn't Firefox 6 only just come out a month or two ago?

Hell, my online-banking website still hasn't moved beyond FF4 compatibility.

I updated from FF6 and saw a 50% reduction in my memory usage.

Before I uninstalled FF6 I was using 500mb of memory, with FF7 installed and the same websites open (10 tabs) it shows 230mb being used.

Startup time was fore sure faster.

Time will tell if the memory useage is better for me or not.

Should I upgrade from FF 3.6 which I'm currently using?

Hopefully somebody at home can give it a try, and give us an AAR on how it performs. Or doesn't.

FF hasn't really given me any problems, though I hear from quite a few that it does with their systems.

This is relevant to my interests.

The restore option was really fast and i'm seeing a nice size memory reductions also, about 30% with 25 tabs open.
9/27/2011 9:14:43 AM EDT

I thought they were on version 11 or 12 by now.  It's a new one every Friday, right?

Seems faster than 6.x



So far so good

Mozilla moved to a shorter development cycle to get new features out faster to foster adoption of new web standards rather than have long periods of stagnation.

 



The version number is just a number.

Shit, I'll be under 500mb with that kind of improvement!

Looks like they bumped up the websockets version, which is nice. Websockets + WebGL means 3D games in the browser.

I'm still running FF 3.6, and it's currently using 211MB of memory with 5 open tabs.



I guess FF7 still isn't an improvement.

Seems snappier so far, will see about the memory usage, before the update with 6 I was using a hair under 1 gig with just a couple tabs going.

Okay, I just upgraded from FF 3.6 to FF 7, and memory usage for the same 5 tabs went from 211MB with FF 3.6 to 116MB with FF 7.



Holy crap does it look different though.

Tell that to IT departments that have to verify security and functionality on EVERY iteration of a product. We've stopped authorizing FF since it's too time-consuming to keep up with their dev cycles.

I've had FF use over 1GB of RAM.  I have a habit of never closing it and opening a lot of tabs when researching stuff at work.  I'll have to try 7 because I'm getting close to dumping FF and using something else.

Two windows open with 16 tabs total, went from 250MB on FF6.x to 171MB on FF7.x

Yes. It does seem faster than 3.6.

can it be installed along side a previous version without screwing with the previous version?

I prefer not to test new versions of stuff unless I can easily go back to how things were if the new version isn't worth it

Agree. I just installed it. Memory usage cut in half and it is a lot more "responsive"...

Nice, much faster when I restored session after installing.

Now if I can just get my linkification running in FF7 it will be sweet.

Just tried it out. Seems very fast and responsive, though I never had any trouble with 4,5, or 6 either.



Win7 64bit, Intel i7 920, and 12 GB of RAM.

Just switched from 6, and I can definitely tell 7 is faster.
