I left my computer on this afternoon. Firefox was open with a few tabs. No other programs were open, but my computer became so sluggish that no videos would play right. I opened the task manager to see what was going on.

I sorted the processes by memory usage and found Firefox was the culprit. I have since restarted the program, so it is now only using about a quarter of the memory that it was. I find this to be a big weakness of Firefox. I have known of the issue though reading online, but now I see the problem. I can only imagine if I were to leave it open all night.

FireFox 2.0 is now public. There weren't a whole lot of changes made, other than to the look and feel. The one great change that I like is the scrolling through tabs, but I really hate the per-tab closing. I hope that there is some extension that becomes available to 'fix' some of these changes. If you click on the image, I labeled some of the changes that are most evident.
