Mozilla Firefox in July, will be available by the end of September, is much faster thanks to the work of removing memory leaks in your browser, the developer said.
Mozilla Developer Nicolas Nethercott project labeled "MemShrink", close the browser to a bug in the memory and produced faster than Firefox.
MemShrink started two months ago.
"Firefox 7 uses less memory than Firefox 6 (and 5 and 4), often 20% to 30% less, and sometimes up to 50% less," said in a blog post Tuesday Nethercote. "This means that 7 Firefox is faster (sometimes dramatically so) and less likely to crash, especially if you have many pages open at once and / or to keep Firefox running for a long time between reboots. " Firefox has long been criticized for spending large amounts of RAM and not releasing memory when tabs are closed, a practice that can affect the efficiency of your browser, or in extreme cases, it is to crash or enclose the cause.
Mozilla is trying to stop the bleeding first. In 2008, some engineers, the company said that the work done, then under construction in Firefox 3 has been rewarded with a better memory management than previous versions and competitors.
Firefox Nethercote established reputation as a "memory hog", and note that some versions have used memory more efficiently than others, applauding Firefox 3, 3.5 and 3.6.
"Four down Firefox again, which is partly due to a number of new features (not all, are more effective in the first iteration), and partly because some parameters heuristics aggressive garbage collection, and JavaScript for image decoding, "said Nethercott.
City Nethercote test, Mozilla Firefox and others have done with 7, it uses less memory than its predecessors and more reliable without unused memory when tabs are closed or the browser has been idle.
"The use of reduced memory should also reduce the number of crashes and logs out of Windows where Firefox is built like a 32-bit application and is usually limited to 2 GB of virtual memory," said Nethercote.
7 is a Firefox right now, "Aurora", channel, and moved to more reliable beta or shortly after next Tuesday, August 16. If Mozilla is to maintain a rapid publication schedule, paving the way for a new edition every six weeks, the final version of Firefox is September 7, 27.
7 Firefox can be downloaded from Mozilla website.
