    Nothing but Firefox. Loving the new release too...so goddamn fast.

    We must be using different Firefox 57s. The one I'm running -- on multiple operating systems -- is, at best, about as fast as earlier versions and is often slower. Worse, though, is that Firefox 57 is a massive RAM hog compared to earlier versions and it must be more processor-demanding because the fan on my notebook constantly ramps up when I'm using Firefox. It never did that with earlier versions.

    I'm not sure I can believe that.

    Worse?? Is that even possible?

    Firefox holds on to RAM the way hoarders hang on to old newspapers and bottles of urine.
