And what about memory usage when you have 20+ tabs opened?
Still so low?

Anyone tried that yet? I often have FF exceeding 400MB of RAM. I hope FF3 is going to handle RAM better

You don’t need something like this with Firefox 3. Memory usage is lower then IE7, FF2 and Opera 9.

I believe it’s a fake. It may appear to have reduced the Mem usage. But if you check on the Performance tab in the window task manager, you’ll see that the usage is still the same.
