Firefox 3.6.10 is available. They fixed a lot of memory leaks, so I turned off Memory Fox. Below are some of the improvements...

Crash Protection
Firefox provides uninterrupted browsing for Windows and Linux users when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins. If one of these commonly-used plugins crashes or freezes, it won't affect the rest of Firefox. Instead, you can simply reload the page to restart the plugin and try again. Learn more about plugins.

Smaller Memory Footprint
Short and sweet, Firefox uses less of your computer’s memory while it’s running.

Memory Management
With a new management function in place, Firefox keeps memory usage under control. The XPCOM cycle collector continuously cleans up unused memory. Plus, hundreds of memory leaks have been remedied.

Faster Page Load
A redesigned page rendering and layout engine means you see Web pages faster—and in the way they were meant to be seen.

Color Profile Support
Do you tweak your photos or Web designs to get the colors exactly right? Now Web pages and photos appear just the way they should, thanks to improvements to our graphics engine.
