why? they have been there since firefox 3 you would think **** would be fixxed by now way to much ram is being used in every version of firefox

You do not understand something very simple,

You are not using a version that is meant for general use.

Firefox 4.0 is not yet complete,

1. Restart-less plugin support is not here yet.

2. New JS engine is not here yet.

3. New rendering engine is not here yet.

4. Interface is not yet in its final form either.

Be quiet, sit down, and wait.

By the time it's using ~1GB things are not pretty, 4GB's or not.

Mine never uses over 350 mb and I have to have to have like 30 tabs and/or multiple flash tabs for that to happen. It generally stays around 100-200 mb for me. something is wrong on your end. Firefox uses less memory than opera chrome and IE as multiple benchmarks have shown. Memory problems in firefox are down to: extensions, plugins, or a issues with your profile.

And this version is also a beta...

Many people don't realize that there is are multiple Chrome.exe processes and so you get comments like, "Chrome only uses 5MB RAM with 20 tabs open" ....

Also,

If anyone is wandering where their RAM is going, Direct2D does actively leak memory.

that looks GREAT!, can u tell me how u get remove the feedback button and how did you remove the word bookmarks from the boomark icons and got the little arrow for the drop down menu?

I have to remove the feedback after each restart manually :s I'm using firefox 4.0 beta 1. I dont understand the thing with the bookmark icon. I did nothing with it :D

Gosh! So many features in one browser!

And folks accuse *IE* of being bloated...

Here is something I find absolutely hi-larious (though I have IE as my default in Windows, I do have Firefox 4 beta 1 installed there); the same folks that have complained about IE code-bloat and feature-bloat load up the Fox with add-ons/extensions/plug-ins; do you really think that just because a feature is an add-on/extension/plug-in it doesn't weigh down the browser? If anything, a feature that is an add-on/extension/plug-in (as opposed to designed/built in) weighs it down more, not less. Firefox has a cottage-industry of add-ons/extensions/plug-ins; I will give it that. (Most of these are unique.) However, it is precisely because of that cottage industry that Firefox defaulters have, if anything, far less reason to gripe about code-bloat or feature-bloat then IE-defaulters.

You are wrong for using ANY version of STYLISH! userChrome.css is the file to hack. I took all of the "stylish" code and corrected the numerous errors and created a chrome that does this and works flawlessly. I have a newer build of OMNIBAR installed from a link at the developers web site to finish the look. The chrome is yours to enjoy as much as I do.userChrome.css

Of course we know you can use userChrome.css. Stylish is awesome because it lets you change things on the fly, separate different elements and toggle them on and off, all without restarting your browser.

Stylish has to go through two steps EVERYTIME you launch the browser! You have to go and unselect your style preference and then reselect for it to work. Who in their right mind thinks that a viable choice? Stylish is not compatible with 4.0. The older version of stylish that others like you are using does not load your "style" automatically. The developer, whose forum I spent hours combing through, will not update it until firefox is in RC1or2.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
