Parts of my site don't work and it's messed with fonts which isn't good. Back to the earlier version.

Stretching the definition of final a bit aren't they?

The things that didn't work were third party plugins. Actually there now seems to be a firebug update that works.

It does seem to suffer from ultra-bloatation. Currently 490MB of memory used and rising, and all I have open is a windows live document

Memory leak perhaps? Whatever it is I think chrome is going to remain by browser of choice for the moment.

I'm not sure the memory use reported by Task Manager is accurate, but also could it be the document app that is leaking... what is windows live documents?

IME Firefox is a memory hog, have to close it down every so often just to free up some memory and get it back to working at full speed

I really hoped they would fix it in v4, my FF is currently suffering leaks up to 1GB with a couple of tabs open if left for several days

It's a cloud based "office" thing similar to google docs. Chrome and IE both use significantly less memory when I'm using it, and firefox dropped to 220MB after a restart (which is still double what chrome reports) but soon grew to nearly 1/2 a gig again.

Not sure why you think the memory use reported in task manager wouldn't be "accurate" although I can understand that it might not be reporting what you think it's reporting (it's the "working set" i.e. the memory physically mapped to that process, although some pages might be shared between more than one process).

Either way it's a bloater.

My new PC has just been shipped so will be here tomorrow - might try it on there and see how much of the 16GB RAM it uses
