Word has it that memory management has been tweaked.

It leaks memory.  Try restarting it.

Although process per tab uses more memory, the great thing is that it's less susceptible to memory leaks.

Well it's no better. Honestly, I can't remember FF3 being this bad. Since FF4 things have gone downhill as far as memory consumption is concerned.

No, memory management will be tweaked in the next version, not this one.  Hardly anything changed in this one.

RE: Firefox plans to remove version numbers
Memory usage is probably the main issue of Firefox.  If they fix that, I think Firefox would probably be the best browser overall.
