Mozilla gave Firefox a curve as version numbers become grades.

Hooray! I prefer FF's interface to Chrome or Safari, but it gets up to 6-700MB RAM usage on my Mac (with 'only' 2GB RAM) so I find I have to restart it to release memory when I'm running Eclipse, Tomcat and Photoshop at the same time... hopefully this will make things better.

Keep in mind this is Aurora 7, and not Firefox 7. Aurora is like a public pre-beta build of Firefox (and Firefox 6 beta is not even out yet).

> Reduced memory usage (Memory leak is one of the important issue in Firefox).

It's good to see them acknowledging there's a problem. Back in the day when I still used FF (feels like an eternity but couldn't have been more than a few months) the Mozilla developers always denied there were memory issues in the first place.
