In recent days, is now available to download version 3 of Firefox, which is still in beta, so it is possible that there are still some bugs and crashes unexpected so if you do not need to upgrade, you should not do so until it is released the final version. However, reading the review of Andres Nieto, I decided to test the beta version 3, which read as it is very stable, so I downloaded the file and install!
Before passing the new version, measured performance version 2.0.0.12 which is as before, with a total of 12 tabs open and using the Google Toolbar extension, memory consumption was a little more 150 MB.
After installation of version 3, with the same tabs open, but without the extension (because so far do not work) [although there is a method to force, which is not very safe and not recommended], consumption dropped to just More than 100 MB. It is a noticeable difference, especially when there is not much RAM.
Until now, if all goes well and there is much faster performance of the browser, and hopefully continue because it is more how to use it. Some of what I liked most is that the new version, the interface elements and features native Mac, so the interface has changed a lot, and now it seems rather to Safari.

I would like to bring as many combinations to establish certain appearance, as does Opera.
Moreover, I am dying to try, but I have many extensions as not to lose me.
