Right. Also, no matter how cheap memory is, you run into limits of things like maximum RAM capacity. I'm there now... I have 8GB of RAM in this laptop, and that's all it can hold. I can't spend more money to put more RAM in here even if I want too, as it just won't take it. I'd love to go up to 16GB, but that won't happen until I buy a whole new machine.
Needless to say, I'm very happy about this firefox news. AS somebody who routinely runs a lot of apps (and more than a few memory hungry ones) I want every app to be a freaking memory frugal as it possibly can, and be a good citizen when RAM has to be shared between apps.
Playing the whole "Unused RAM is wasted, take up as much RAM as you can" mindset is fine if you only run one app at a time, but, really, who the f%!# actually does that???
