Mozilla continuing its fast track release approach had just released version 6, and have already plans for version 7 and version 8. The biggest aim for Firefox 7 release will be about the most common complain of Firefox: Its memory usage. In a blog post written by one of Mozilla’s programmers, he claims that Firefox 7 will have a solution that many users of the web browser will be happy to hear.
He says,
“Firefox 7 uses less memory than Firefox 6 (and 5 and 4): often 20 (percent) to 30 (percent) less, and sometimes as much as 50 {percent) less. In particular, Firefox 7′s memory usage will stay steady if you leave it running overnight, and it will free up more memory when you close many tabs.”
“This means that Firefox 7 is faster (sometimes drastically so) and less likely to crash, particularly if you have many websites open at once and/or keep Firefox running for a long time between restarts.”
This improvement in upcoming Firefox 7 is credited to MemShink, a new effort by Mozilla designed specifically to decrease Firefox’s memory usage. The MemShink team aims to improve focus only on memory usage of Firefox to improve it continuously. So, Firefox 7 is not the final frontier they are already planning updates linked to Firefox 8 which will improve its performance even more.
