Wuhu, finally! Let's see if FF does not take 1GB after a few days.

You'll have to wait a couple of days - Firefox 15 is hitting Beta either today or tomorrow, I believe.

I am really happy that Firefox 15 stops most of the leaks caused by firebug. Competition is good.

As a webdev who use Firebug (and Adblock) a lot, I'm so glad about this. FINALLY !

However they are three years too late about that, from a market share perspective.

I used to be an avid Firefox user. I switched to Chrome because it was faster and had all the same extensions I used on Firefox. Why should I switch back? Chrome is still faster no?

Why do you think it's still faster?
