[Bug 436555] Re: firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP
thats clearly and invalid comparison. if you want to compare, compre 3.5 vs. 3.5 ;) ... but even then its not a specific bug anyone can deal with :). ** Changed in: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 436555] Re: firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP
I was comparing the latest release on Ubuntu 9.04 with the latest release on XP. I am a user, not a developer, and I stay away from unreleased code normally. I did not realise that your release numbering was the same on different platforms. F-3.0 on Ubuntu had increased its memory usage overnight to 1.6GB with half a dozen tabs open and no user activity. Except it had forced my system into constant virtual memory paging. I have now installed the prerelease 3.5 for Ubuntu. My first reaction is that memory allocation is dynamic i.e. I see it going down as well as up, which I did not see before. - after leaving it running for 10 hours the memory usage is now 219.6MB, comparable with the XP usage. It would appear that the problem is solved in this version, which I assume will be pushed to all users as an update at the appropriate time. -- firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Firefox 3.5 in Jaunty is the release version if you update your packages. It is still called Shiretoko, but it is the release version.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you please install Firefox 3.5 on Jaunty and compare apples to apples? Please let us know what you find.

[Bug 436555] Re: firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP
Thanks for your report. Memory usage was one of the big issues with Firefox 3.0, and as you probably noticed, Firefox 3.5 is a lot better at it. I encourage you to compare what is comparable, and either check memory usage with Firefox 3.0 in Windows, or with Firefox 3.5 in Ubuntu. You can use Ubuntuzilla (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ubuntuzilla/index.php?title=Main_Page) to install it, or find a PPA repository to install it manually. As Firefox 3.5 will be installed by default with Karmic Koala, I don't think this issue is likely to be addressed. If I were you, I'd close this bug (if of course you are satisfied with Firefox 3.5 memory usage), but I won't take the decision for you. -- firefox-3.0 on Jaunty uses a lot more memory than firefox-3.5 on XP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
