Mozilla Firefox 7 officially released

Until now, one of the major problems with Mozilla’s Firefox browser is the fact that it’s a memory hog. With each version the developers have been trying to fix it, but now – Mozilla claims to have finally solved the issue. With the latest version of Firefox, version 7, the browser is touted to use up to 50% less memory – a necessity for folks who keep Firefox running all day and have tons of tabs open.

Other improvements to Firefox 7 include enhanced graphical performance with hardware acceleration, a major speed boost for Firefox Sync, some UI enhancements, stability and security updates, and more. This update is said to be a significant improvement as opposed to the minor updates in version 5 and 6. Just load up the Help dialog box to update your browser directly, or visit the Mozilla website to download Firefox 7.
