The Firefox browser is good, but the high memory usage and crash problems are distressing.
Mozilla developer Nicholas Nethercote said Firefox7 will occupy less and less memory, compared with the previous version, Firefox7 memory can be reduced to 50%, the speed will be significantly faster. In addition, Firefox7 will also fix Memory leakage.
The secret is the MemShrink {memory reduction} project under the Mozilla flag. This project aims to improve Firefox's speed, stability, and cognitive capabilities. Optimization of paging and cache improves the speed and stability.
MemShrink on Mozilla's comprehensive test surface will greatly reduce the memory occupied by Firefox. The following figure shows the comparison of memory usage in Firefox 6, 7, and 8 (the upper part shows the average value of resident memory, comparison of resident memory peak values in the lower part ):
The official Firefox7 version is expected to be released this year.
