I'm really hoping they're doing something about memory leakage - at the moment I'm using the latest version of 2 and it's using 140Mb with four tabs open... Sometimes it even goes up to about 350Mb, surely that can't be normal?

It looks like they've fixed some of the memory leaks. When FF2 reached around 180MB, it would stay even when I visit different websites. On FF3, it comes back around 80, or 90MB.

Just gave it a bit of a testing, looks good and the memory usage is much better.

...although that my be due to half my extensions not being compatible!

There is a "Nightly Tester Tool" you can use to force your extensions to be compatible. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6543

Using that to enable extensions, I have to say that memory use is improved.
