In fact, it’s exactly what Mozilla promised with the browser. I haven’t had enough time with Firefox 7 to see if these issues are completely gone, but I expect the crashes to be at least less frequent now that memory management has been kicked up a few notches. Not that it was bad, but it ate up so much memory the browser would crash on an hourly basis.

It eludes me why Mozilla didn’t bother to include support for OS X Lion’s Full Screen function, let alone other Lion features, given that Opera Software and Google have long done so with their own web browsers.īut regardless of what’s not in store for Mac users this time around, we can safely say Firefox 7 is much less of a memory hog than it was when we used to run version 6.0.2 on our Macs.

This is most noticeable especially when loading pages that are chock full of HTML5 and Flash. Although Mozilla is yet to post Version 7-Final publicly, the latest stable version of the Firefox web browser is now available for download by Mac users.įeaturing no visible changes from the RC build rolled out last week and sporting no Mac-specific enhancements whatsoever, Firefox 7 is indeed as fast as Mozilla promised.
