    I am running Mac OSX 2.8 on iMac I really like Firefox (defalt browser). Will Rel.1 have Services support?

    Does this mean Firefox will consume noticeably less memory?

    Welcome to San Diego. :) I hope you like it here. Maybe I just missed this, but why are you moving here?

    Noa,

    For these fixes, memory was leaked when you:

    * opened a tab from the bookmarks toolbar folder
    * searched in the searchbar
    * ctrl+L or file -> open location

    So if you did any of these, firefox took memory and then never gave it back to the OS. It won’t make firefox’s footprint smaller, but it’ll make firefox’s footprint *over time* smaller.

    I am moving to San Diego in order to start grad school at UCSD (computer science phd program). I’m probably going to research computational complexity or software security. Crypto is popular here so maybe I’ll get drawn into that.

    Does anyone know how many aviary checkins have not been backported to the trunk?

    Jesse, crypto is very interesting. Only had one crypto class as an undergrad and liked it very much.

    I’m happy to see David spending some time looking for leaks. Fixes for those can really add up. (no pun intended!)
