Geek Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/firefox-7.jpg" alt="Firefox 7 " title="firefox-7" width="620" height="329" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21676" /></p> <p>Firefox 7 is now available to download for all supported platforms, the new release has an emphasis on improved memory management and speed, and it does provide a noticeable difference in snappiness when loading pages or browsing the web.</p> <p>The benefits are best seen if you keep Firefox open for a long time (who ever closes their web browser anyway?), use a lot of tabs, and view pages with a lot of images or text, and in my usage I can confirm it <em>feels more responsive</em> and has a lower memory footprint in <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/mac-os-x/">OS X</a>. The Mozilla dev team suggests that version 7 will use as much as 50% less memory, but I haven’t seen that dramatic of a difference. If you use Firefox for any browsing purposes or rely on it for plugins like Firebug, it’s well worth downloading.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/">You can grab Firefox 7 directly from Mozilla.org here</a></p> <p>As usual, Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux are available concurrently. If you have plugins installed, expect a few to nag about compatibility, but they all worked for me anyway.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xnY3d8vOT9GSn9LHJeEo99IWztc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xnY3d8vOT9GSn9LHJeEo99IWztc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xnY3d8vOT9GSn9LHJeEo99IWztc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/xnY3d8vOT9GSn9LHJeEo99IWztc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRZpQdJPCe0:3l2Vfegu4ks:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRZpQdJPCe0:3l2Vfegu4ks:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=lRZpQdJPCe0:3l2Vfegu4ks:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRZpQdJPCe0:3l2Vfegu4ks:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=lRZpQdJPCe0:3l2Vfegu4ks:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRZpQdJPCe0:3l2Vfegu4ks:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=lRZpQdJPCe0:3l2Vfegu4ks:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/lRZpQdJPCe0" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
