I'm sorry, have you tried version 9 or version 10 yet? It's usage is increasingly high since around version 4. I was hoping it would improve as well but I'm not seeing it.
And in any case, did any of you read the other bits of my post? What about the buggy useless features? The UI that keeps freezing solid?
Bear in mind that I am not the only person with these complaints.
I was using this as evidence for how silly the idea of "fast release" is. This bumping the version numbers is all rubbish.

Ehm... Firefox IS less memory hungry in its current version than before. I noticed this on my smaller Windows system, where Firefox used to have around 400 MB with around 20 tabs open and now it's down to 200 MB. That this is still far from optimal is a different topic ;)

Actually, it's been severely less memory hungry since version 7 (down by 20 to 30%) and it keeps improving with each new version since then cause Mozilla has made it one of their top priorities to reduce memory usage. And there's no difference for Linux. Looks like the king of england must have forgotten to update ^^
