Its not bad but one annoying glitch is that if you close a tab while other tabs are still opening pages, it will often close the entire browser session :icon8: .

Never noticed it before, but now I've been watching it over the last 30 min. Damn, went from 22mb just opened to around 60mb and climbing.

One in particular is the tweak when you minimize ff it will free up memory.

1.5 is shit compared to 1.07.

i only upgraded so i could drag-and-drop onto the quicksearch box (in 1.07 it would crash), i'm not sure it was worth it.
