Firefox 3 is here!

Yesterday at work I had a couple of browser windows open and my computer was running like ass. So I brought up the task manager and found that Firefox was eating a gig and a half of memory and beating the hell out of my dual core processor. I remembered that Firefox 3 had come out a few days ago so decided now was the time to upgrade.

So I downloaded and installed the new version and WOW! There was a noticeable speed increase when loading a page and the memory (with the same pages open) seems to be much better and not leaking like a bad radiator.

Now this is just anecdotal evidence. I didn’t go and run any benchmark tests to prove it. But if you use Firefox and haven’t upgraded to version 3 yet, I would definitely recommend it.
