[Bug 436555] Re: firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP

[Nicolas Joyard]

Thanks for your report.

Memory usage was one of the big issues with Firefox 3.0, and as you
probably noticed, Firefox 3.5 is a lot better at it. I encourage you to
compare what is comparable, and either check memory usage with Firefox
3.0 in Windows, or with Firefox 3.5 in Ubuntu. You can use Ubuntuzilla
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page)
to install it, or find a PPA repository to install it manually.

As Firefox 3.5 will be installed by default with Karmic Koala, I don't
think this issue is likely to be addressed. If I were you, I'd close
this bug (if of course you are satisfied with Firefox 3.5 memory usage),
but I won't take the decision for you.
