Wouldn’t it be ironic if that didn’t work with 3.5 lol

Firefox 3.5 has been working quite well for me. Did download MR toolkit from https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/421 . Somehow my “Vista Home OS” windows explorer has been hanging more than earlier, but likely it’s Microsoft ( not FF problem).

I am liking this support for <video> and <audio>, no need for flash. 😊

Tried it a few weeks ago and never really bothered with the add-ons. As long as firebug worked.

It really seems to be faster. At least it feels like… didn’t measure anything. Using it right now on a more than 4 years old laptop, and it feels really smooth, nice!

It may be faster, but it also seems more memory hungry
Firefox 3 used to average about 200mb, 3.5 avergaes about 300mb
It’s not a huge concern, as I have the memory to spare, although I would be concerned about running it on my 1Gb of RAM netbook (although soon to be 2Gb so will be fine)

300mb?? mine shows 122mb right now, with four tabs…
#24 / Jul 06, 2009 7:49am
Yup… I normally have at least 10 tabs, but now, I only have 4 tabs and a download going, and it’s at 275
I think my record was just under 1Gb of RAM for firefox lol (although i did have like 6 windows with almost 100 tabs)
