I had to kill Firefox earlier today after noticing that it was using around 750MB of memory!
It hung when I tried to close it normally, but perhaps I was just impatient.
This time I’m going to give it the benefit of doubt and blame some crappy Flash advert or something.
Mozilla is about the make a big mistake, the same as that made by IE7.
Zooming the whole page is not a good idea.
Current Firefox text-only zoom on the left, IE7 on the right.
Using the current Fx way you can easily read the text without having to scroll sideways, but the new way (which is how IE7 works) means you have to scroll right for each line of text, then back to the left, and so on.
I simply cannot fathom how they thought this was the right move.
I discovered yesterday that [tag]bookmarks[/tag] in [tag]Firefox[/tag] can have no name.
Seems pointless? Not if the sites have [tag]favicons[/tag]:
Space saving, so you can see more, hence fewer clicks.
The above are jazzle.co.uk, The Sketchup Components Collection, bit-tech, ebay, amazon, radiotimes.com and the default icon (for a site with no [tag]favicon[/tag]), but you knew that of course since you recognise the sites’ icons.
