Firefox 15 Will Finally Fix Memory Leaks Caused By Add-Ons

JMH · Jul 20, 2012

Firefox 14 just came out earlier this week and brought some pretty neat stuff with it. At the time, I didn’t think that Firefox 15 would bring anything too groundbreaking to the digital table. I was wrong.

One of the major problems with current builds of Firefox is that some add-ons can cause massive memory leaks that forces the browser to consume a lot of memory. This slows down your computer which slows down your browser and then you switch to Chrome because you’ve had enough. The team at Mozilla is going to fix that problem in Firefox 15.

That's great news about the meory leak finally being fixed in FF15!

For FF14, I really like the "big update for Firefox 14 is that Google searches are automatically sent through HTTPS by default". I can now help Mozilla make money by using their default search, and still be secure in my searches.

I guess we will see if they cure the memory leaks in about 6 weeks if their schedule holds true to form.
