Cheers for the info. Just ran the Update check and it found the 1.5.0.2 update. I probably would have been informed, but not before finding out about it on OcUK or something.

The memory leak issue isn't a matter of a missed semicolon somewhere in the source code; it's a large, underlying problem which will take a long time to fix. Still, I don't find it a hassle and couldn't imagine using a different browser in the meantimeSteedie said:
I got the autoupdate last night after reading about it yesterday. Here's a brief summary of the changes (click here for a more detailed list):
- Universal Binary support for Mac OS X which provides native support for Macintosh with Intel Core processors. Firefox supports the enhancements to performance introduced by the new MacIntel chipsets.
- Improvements to product stability.
- Several security fixes.

Yeah, it'll take a long time to fix. But surely their priority is to fix big bugs first?
The leak doesn't effect me, yeah it can take 200mb+ at a time which doesn't bother me or slow my PC down, but i'd have though they would have fixed that one asap.

If I get any mem probs (very rarely) then a simple restart of FF cures it. The only sites that give me odd problems are poorly coded mishmash sites like gamespot.com which I avoid, if certain bits can't even render in IE let alone FF then I'll avoid it for good.
The update happened in the background for me. I was just looking at some work I was doing on the other tft and FF was silently updating on the other. Sweet!

Mine is using 91mb with 4 tabs open and 21 extensions active - I dont notice any slowdowns at all though and 99.999% of the time this mem usage is a total non issue UNLESS you browse threads which have full res photos posted in them.
You know...pr0n threads ¬_¬

Same here, I also never notice an issue with performance no matter what memory it's taking.
Right now it's taking 40mb with just OcUK open. Has taken around 300mb before though, but as I said that doesn't bother me and I don't notice any slowdown.
