Firefox 3.0.2 Released

by on Sep 24, 2008 | 2 comments

image Firefox users: You will be prompted soon to update your software to v3.0.2. If you don’t feel like waiting, just click Help and then Check for Updates… and you can upgrade right now.

So what’s new in 3.0.2 (hey, that rhymes)?

Quite a bit, actually.

There’s been some security fixes, "several stability issue" fixed (which hopefully means it doesn’t chomp up as much memory as before) and some Mac fixes as well.

You can read up on all the new/fixed stuff with FF here.

    Actually it does appear that 3.02 seems to use around 90KB less RAM from initial findings, at least on this computer (AMD Athlon 64×2, 2GB RAM, … blah.). I’ll have to verify that over the next few days, but it seems to have fixed something anyway.

    I’m running an Intel Quad Core processor with 6Gb RAM so I had a bit of an issue finding any noticeable difference in memory usage. I’m all for a good FF update regardless though! :)
    Thanks for the heads up Rich.
