I’ve written before about how web usage patterns have changed, so too have our strategies on how to effectively make use of system resources such as memory.While Firefox 2 used less memory than it’s predecessor, Firefox 1.5, we intentionally restricted the number of changes to the Gecko platform (Gecko 1.8.1 was only slightly different than Gecko 1.8) on which Firefox was built. However, while the majority of people were working on Firefox 2 / Gecko 1.8.1, others of us were already ripping into the platform that Firefox 3 was to be built on: Gecko 1.9.We’ve made more significant changes to the platform than I can count, including many to reduce our memory footprint.
