Out of the world?

As long as there's no out-of-memory browsing experience, then I'm all for it. Firefox as it is now has accumulated some pretty serious performance issues in both time and space.

... ?

I'm using FF3 on a >10 y/o Dell laptop with 256MB RAM, MACH64 and a 10GB drive running CentOS 5.2 - and the browsing experience (as long as I reduce the number of heavily java-scripted sites) is OK. (And -FAAR- better than Firefox 2.x)

Or what they could do is introduce a memory manager like Chromium so that we can be given the opportunity to identify the tabs or extensions that takes up the most memory and close them .. because one factor that many people over look is that Firefox its self may not be that actual culprit when hogging all that memory
