v12?!. They really have gone crazy about versioning. Back when it was v3 - they used 3.6.24, 3.6.25 etc for minor updates. And then going up a version when major things changed.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases - 6 week release cycle incrementing the version number each time?! Firefox 12 beta is probably available soon too...

Apparently FF7 "uses as much as 50% less memory than Firefox 4" - Nope it doesn't, still the same ever increasing bloated browser.

Firefox somewhat follows Google Chrome in this version increase. If you check Chrome's version you will find the same.

In the bad old days of Firefox, I used to see it taking 500MB, 800MB, sometimes even a gigabyte of RAM.

It's gotten a lot better since then. I'm running Firefox 11 (on the Aurora channel) right now, and with a fairly typical tab load, about:memory tells me Firefox is using less than 300MB. I'm impressed.

me too! and I am quite surprised to see his comment. Infact some blog posts came explaining why Chrome takes more memory than Firefox
