Oh wait, I didn't even notice that it was back to normal.

Problem solved, the thread can now die in peace.

Default Yes, Mozilla. You totally need over agig of RAM to show one web page.

It does have the reputation of being dumb about it, though. If you just leave FF running and check your machine later, you'll see that it's just continued sucking up RAM like it's going out of style. Or at least it did. I have not checked this in versions past 4 (or 5?), as I don't leave the browser running when I am not using it and haven't been curious in a while.

The most important problem with the update: I can't click my scroll wheel, then move my mouse to have it autoscroll, then also scroll by scrolling the scroll wheel.

Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.

It still does that, yeah.

Though I'm not sure if a RAM leak should be considered the same as a hefty system footprint. Also I'm too lazy to check if said leak is related to caching. I don't want to turn off my RAM caching.
