It seems much much speedier - did they rewrite the HTML renderer?
i don't think Gecko has changed much
BUT they might have made some of the "tweaks" standdard, such as more pipeline requests and such (type about:config in your URL address)

Does Mozilla have the same memory leaks as Firefox?
Apparently not, I heard they fixed those.

the largest reported memory leak wasn't a leak at all, but the instant-goback caching feature (which can be turned off)
since mozilla and firefox are based on the same core, gecko (afaik), they would suffer similar mem leaks for that part - however i heard alot of the firefox leaks (the smaller ones) concern poorly written extensions

I definitely <3 that autocaching of the page rendering.
Just wanted to know, because my browsers keep crashing like every hour or so of operation or less (maybe it's because I have a crappy computer...)
I'll try disabling cache and see if that helps any.

Doesn't Firefox discard it after 10 pages back though?
Probably, because I disabled cache, and it still crashes Maybe my comp really is the problem... *shock*

i'm pretty sure it depends upon your amount of ram, somewhere between 2-8pages depending
NOTE: the goback cache is NOT able to be turned off in the options menu!!!

instead you have to go to about:config and change browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers to 0 from -1 (the default)
