Reduced memory footprint and faster HTML5.
Anyone give it a try yet?

Running it now. Haven't run into any problems yet. It does seem faster.

Running it now. Don't notice a difference, other than fonts seemed to have changed. Smoother somehow, or something.

With 35 pages open, I was using 1GB of memory with 6.0.2. I applied the update, restarted. And now it's down to 360MB. So pretty nice reduction so far.

The reduced memory footprint will help a lot for me. Having 500 Mb to 900 Mb in Firefox with few tabs open wasn't rare for me.

And for the first time ever, I've seen FF use 2.5GB of memory while maxing out a core on an i7.
Not sure which add-on it is, but one of them is doing something that FF7 definitely does not like (or something in FF7 is broken and the add-on is exposing that). I was unable to reproduce this in safe mode.

I've been using the beta for a while and it runs much lighter than 6.

Just downloaded it, the first thing I noticed was how much sharper things looked in 7
