Firefox 3.0 after unload tabs.
I closed all tabs on TR again except the home page. Like Firefox 2.0, Firefox 3.0 failed to release all of the RAM back. It held on to 74Mb, 19Mb more than it did when it first loaded the page.Compared to Firefox 2.0, Firefox seized more memory to do the same job and refused to let go less of it when the tabs were closed.
