Speaking from experience, I would say it has not (although I have not |
| 16 |
used the newest revision of 1.0.6 long enough to say if it is fixed |
| 17 |
there). I |
| 18 |
commonly run with all the tabs open my desktop will hold (about 30), and |
| 19 |
I can certainly confirm that after a while (some 12 hours or more), I |
| 20 |
have found that other programs seem to have 'issues' (especially |
| 21 |
Wine/Cedega, for example), which are solved by closing Firefox. Not that |
| 22 |
Firefox itself has any issues, but it does seem to have a memory leak? |
| 23 |
hog? something-- which saddens me, because it makes me feel like I'm |
| 24 |
using Mozilla again, which had these kinds of problems for a long, long |
| 25 |
time. Firefox was a big relief because it *didn't* have 'that damn |
| 26 |
Mozilla memory problem', but it seems to have developed it. |
