    Thanks for the update.

    I hope they fixed the memory leak issue, even though they didn't list it in the release notes. :(

    Hmm, any one notice that now when you only have 1 tab open (like, only the one your currently viewing), that now you have that bar that is shown when you have multiple tabs?

    I believe that was changed to be the default in FF3.5

    You can change it back to the way it was before by going to Tools>Options>Tabs>uncheck "Always show the tab bar"

    Yes, I believe it was like that since 3.5 first came out. Maybe they are trying to make it easier for IE users to come over . . . one way or another, I liked it the old way better.

    Edit: looks like we posted at the exact same time, crash. Thanks for the tip.

    I'm still getting significant memory leaks and that's with just 8 extensions.

    What's massive? I have more extension, usually around 4-6 tabs open, leave it open for hours on end and it runs about 153,000K It did peak at 256,000K

    With 2gig of mem it's not a big deal.

    I have 4 tabs (1 igoogle and 3 nbr) and 4 add ons. And it's sucking 748K memory (I have 4GB total) :|
    Sometimes it's around 100-200K...

    Wow! I'd be concerned about that too! What are your add-ons? Maybe if you disable them and try to one at time you'll find an answer.
