New Final Firefox 4.0 is Out.

Thanks for the feedback, Richard. I'll need to check a few things. As you can see, right now I'm using Chrome and am enjoying how snappy it is. But FF is like a comfortable old shoe (yes, even the new version) and I don't want to give it up; at least not yet.

I'm becoming increasingly concerned over the amount of memory FF4 is sucking out of this computer. Anyone else experiencing issues like this?

Sure, for the first time ever I've seen a browser use over 1GB of ram. You can see in the screenshot I posted earlier in the thread. In the end, it's hardly a major problem. Ram is dirt cheap anyway. You can get 8GB of DDR3 ram here for around ~$100 AUD.

It could be a problem with someone with an old machine, like me. I have 512 MB RAM, which good enough for me. It may be a case of habit, or what, but I have never seen any browser sucking up more than 140 MB.
I don't know if one should combine firefox.exe with plugin-container.exe. My 3.6.16, would be using a total of 110 MB. I, rarely, keep more than three tabs open, at a time, nor use a single browser over 30 min.
