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.

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 ^^
