Firefox 2.0 features - Page 2

1031982 · 26th Jan 2006, 09:15 AM

One thing I would like to see is better support for the Windows Media files. But seeing how it's mostly up to MS, I don't thing it will happen.
Other then that, there is the occasional issue I have with forums when typing. Sometimes FireFox thinks I pressed something else, and causes the page to go up, down, refresh, or back. I Opened IE, and didn’t have that problem… Kind of annoying, but I just use Word to respond now.
As for the memory issue, the most amount of RAM taken on my system was 200MB, but I had 35 tabs open. Usually it takes about 100MB, not too bad to the features.

But on IE, it's more interesting... like 500MB lol!

But I never find the need of leaving IE open for 2 days continuously...

Plus, I'm using Maxthon, which 'bookmarks' all the opened webpages when you close it, and restore every page once you open it again. So definitely not an issue for me. Most of the software I use like MSN tends to overuse the RAM. Although stability is not an issue, but it slows down the OS unnecessarily, that's why I always close the applications I don't use.

Maxthon remembered all the open tabs but not the history of each opened tabs.
