Mozilla Developers Testing Mobile OS 109
MojoKid writes "Mozilla has been experimenting with an interesting idea called Boot 2 Gecko. Essentially, B2G (as it's called) is a mobile operating system based on the Web, as opposed to what the project's wiki calls 'proprietary, single-vendor stacks.' Mozilla has something here. Open Web technologies provide an intriguing platform for lots of things, mobile and otherwise. The B2G project is still pretty new, but according to the project roadmap, testing has already begun and will continue through the rest of 2011. Messaging, telephony, and battery management aspects of the OS are underway, and contacts, screen/power management, and settings are scheduled. A product demo is scheduled for sometime in the first quarter of 2012."

No it doesn't. It does for you, because one of your addons, your windows install, or your specific software configuration is causing a bug. Your bitching and moaning deserves to be on a bug tracker, not a public discussion thread where nobody excepted people who always suffer from the same bug will have this issue.
For us, Firefox uses less memory than other browsers. Now 2 fucking gigs. That's just you or your 200 tabs.

Firefox uses about as much as Chrome or any other browser
That doesn't mean it's not a memory hog.
