I'll reiterate, given my specialization in metrics, I love the new about:memory feature and also the Telemetry project. These two projects will give us useful tools to be able to accurately measure memory consumption on a variety of platforms for users who feel the memory problems as well as those who don't.

If you have some time, try out a nightly or aurora. If nightly, then opting in to Telemetry will submit the data to us. If aurora, then you can visit about:memory and either submit a bug or feedback with what you find. I and the firefox devs would greatly appreciate it.

Cool, I'll look into that. I've been doing some "have two different browsers running at once" stuff lately, so I could test being logged into something as two different users... so that's given me an excuse to at least fire up one Firefox window. I'll look into grabbing a nightly and play with that little. Maybe I'll even gradually start using it more if it's stable enough.



Well, I wouldn't trust the nightly to be very stable. I'm sure there will be oopsies (internal Firefox joke) to be had on occasion there.

I've been running Aurora since Firefox 5.0 was released though, and I haven't had a crash yet and it has been smooth sailing. YMMV of course.
