"Today, the Mozilla organization is preparing to release the first release candidate for version 2 of their popular Firefox web browser. Firefox 2 RC1 is available in binary form for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X (the latter a Universal Binary for both PPC and Intel systems). The Windows download comes in at 5.7 MB and runs on Windows 98, ME, NT 4, 2000, or XP. It ran without issue on my copy of Windows Vista RC1."

Usually I'm down at 18-26 MB with Firefox and 14-26 with K-Meleon... it never seems to grow above 26 MB (on Windows).

What do you browse with then?

Huh?

I'm usually browsing with K-Meleon on Windows. (though this is written in Firefox - but that's because I'm running Gentoo right now).

With several tabs (typically around 8) open, I don't come over 26 MB. Perhaps the fact that I'm usually avoiding flash-based sites makes a difference?

Ever looked at virtual memory usage?

After a few days of running my Firefox never goes below 200 MB (on windows, never look on Linux, there is runs much smoother). I hope this RC1 does a better job
