fox leaks memory
firefox on ubuntu leaks a lot of memory — maybe more than when i was running it in windows.
so my regimen now would be after visiting a few websites i close-open firefox. tedious i know. and opera is available in ubuntu. i have that installed also but i don’t use it enough for everyday work or surfing. maybe i should.
i would like to see internet explorer run natively in linux though. but i guess that’ll happen when hell freezes over (you know that concert? 
).
the good news is that firefox 3 is coming and in the beta 1 incarnation it appears to be fast. and according to mozilla, they have fixed over 300 memory leaks. dang! 300?!?! it also appears that ff3b1 consumes just as much memory as ff2 but leaks less.
