I was still at 3.6x and then the automatic update was like "you are out of date, please update to FF EIGHT?????!!!!!"

WTF?

Yeah, BTW, FF suck hard now. I open it on occasion to see if they fixed the insane memory bug, but alas, it reaches nearly 4GB of Ram. FF1+2 + Sweet!! FF3+ = Superfuckingshittyexperience. Opera all the way bitches.

still at 4.01 and it spams me EVERY day to upgrade which i wont do, every version is heavier on ram than the previous and jsut right now browsing normally FF uses 900MB with only 9 tabs, crappier everyday, if chrome had proper extensions i'd move and never look back (especially bbcodextra, my favorite addon of all time)

FF9 running fine over here. A lot better memory usage than in FF4.

@ram: I just did a check and the task manager shows my ram go from 1.2gb to 1.3gb if I launch either WE9 (yeah, I actually updated

) or FF 3.6x

Firefox is getting better at RAM usage on my PC. I'm on 7.0.1 with 6 open tabs and it uses 138MB. With older versions it used to go up to around 250. I tried Chrome last week and it was much worse with average use of around 400MB.

I'm on 6.0.2 here. I restart Firefox four+ times a day to clear the RAM. My studio computer is still on 3.6 or something, and that one hasn't been restarted in the last week or so. At least it lets you save the tabs when you restart, so it's not that much of a headache.

(falls backwards and faints)

I confuse easy, but this is ridiculous

Why are you so upset?
I don't care about their numbering system, I just think that Firefox is a lot better now than what it was at version 3.

They're just giving minor releases major release numbers for some inane reason that I've forgotten (there was a big "this is so great" press release or something that explained the rationale if you really want to read it).

The trouble with the new versions is that they break some useful extensions. DTA is a great download manager and it runs in old Thunderbird and Firefox versions. Update to a recent version and it comes up as incompatible. The memory problems are supposed to be improved but I'm hanging out till my extensions catch up.

DownThemAll has never stopped working for me.
