A tantalizing taste of Firefox 3: testing RC1
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has issued the first official release candidate of Firefox 3, the
| next major version of the popular open source web browser. Firefox 3 includes
| a visual refresh as well as a multitude of exciting new features and
| significant improvements. Our experience indicates that this release
| candidate is fairly robust and ready for widespread testing.

| Performance and memory efficiency were high priorities for Firefox 3.
| Adoption of FreeBSD's jemalloc allocator and the implementation of a new
| XPCOM cycle collector have significantly cut down the size of Firefox's
| memory footprint. Firefox 3 now uses less memory than Safari and Opera in
| some benchmarks.
