Firefox 1.5.0.5 released

Includes bug fixes and improvements to stability.  Not much is being done about the memory footprint though. :\

You realize that's a feature, right? It caches webpages in memory iirc.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Yeah, it's a result of caching and tabbing.

Funny I did the best I could to turn those "features" off and it still whores memory. Its a bug and they're claim that its not is a load of crap.

Yeah, I don't like my web browser using all my memory when it gets a chance to.  That's why, rather than leave it running like most people do, I shut it after every use.

Do most people leave their browser running?  I only leave mine running if I have something on the screen that I don't want to forget.

I leave Opera running all of the time.  It normally doubly serves as my e-mail client as well.

I close it for gaming

99% of the time I have something I don't want to forget open in my browser so yes, I keep my browser windows open on my primary machine pretty much all the time.  Completely the opposite on my other machines though, I close anything and everything the minute I'm done with it on them.

I close mine if I'm not using it for anything important.  If I want to remember the web site for later, I just bookmark it.
errr... something like that...

I tend to leave mine open all the time because I'm normally looking into something new or reading a new site I found. Its helpful because I may not want to read the whole article then or such but come back to it a few hours or maybe days later. I normally don't like to bookmark things because I tend not to use them efficiently. Like I'll bookmark something and then end up typing in the URL all the time or bookmark it and forget about it for several months so it ends up adding to my bookmark clutter.

The other reason I like leaving it open is because it provides the history(back button type) so if I find an interesting link off a site I can go back to the orginal site and see if it contains any other interesting links. Of course a large reason I end up doing stuff like this is because search engines are more or less worthless for looking for these types of things. I get better results finding one site I like and manually crawling all the other sites in the link web because they tend to be related when the topic is something like programming.

Yeah, I agree, it's hard to find good porn from a search engine...
