Mozilla's Firefox has grown to become the world's second largest Web browser, but its memory usage is always a pain point in the user's mind. This browser's core memory recovery mechanism is inherently faulty, after a long period of time in use, it will consume hundreds of MB of memory, resulting in slow operation.Now the Mozilla official team has started to deal with this issue. In Firefox 7, users will see Firefox, with only 20-30% of Firefox 5 and 4 in memory, and remain stable, when the tab is closed, the browser will automatically release more memory and reduce the possibility of crash.
Mozilla also explained some misunderstandings about Firefox memory management, for example, the memory reclaim problem in some bug reports is actually caused by the overload of the SQLite database by plug-ins and extension components.
Firefox 7 is expected to be released on July 7, September 27 this year. The test version will be available next week.
