    I am running Firefox 7.0b1 and it is looking great. I wonder when this new protocol will be available.

    7 is the first version with the third party add-on installation confirmation thing, right? And I also heard it uses less memory. I would guess 11. If they just started it now, I doubt it will be read for 10. Could be wrong though (and I guess they could introduce it after it enters the dev channels).

    I am not sure. When they announced the new feature, on August 11, they mentioned it would be on the Aurora channel a week later, which is after the release of Firefox 6 and channel migration. So, it could be Firefox 8.

    Yes. Memory management improvements already in.

    The feature is already in progress, so I guess it could be earlier, like FF 9. Who knows...

    Try Firefox 7.0b1 from firefox-next ppa. It has some performance improvements.

    Oh ok, I didn't realize they had already started the project. Whenever it comes out, I'll be excited to see the results!

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Press Ctrl+T to open a new tab, then type http://ubuntuforums.org/ in the address bar and hit Enter
    2. Press Ctrl+I to View Page Info
    3. Watch Firefox fade out and CPU usage spike

    I did a quick search and all I got were some older reports. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    I am getting exactly the same problem, as well as the following:

    a) Random hangups of ~10 seconds with high CPU usage.
    b) Same deal when doing "View Image Info" (possibly more apparent after longer browsing sessions).

    Any chance you are using NoScript add-on?

    Edit: OK, I found out the issue persists when starting in Safe Mode, but disappears when using another profile. So it's profile related.

    Edit #2: it was being caused by a corrupt places.sqlite file (bookmarks).

    I'm not sure this is the way to do it but I'll try. I have troubles with flash-aid, or there is a bug or something. I install it, run both the wizard and install stable in quick mode, it opens the terminal and that runs fine, then I close the terminal and restart ff, the toolbar button disappear, and I get this in extensions..


    My specs are:
    Mint 11 (ubuntu 11.04) 32bit 2.6.38-11
    Firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 6.0
    about: plugins: Shockwave Flash 11.0 d1
    flashplugin-nonfree and flashplugin-installer both 10.3.183.7ubuntu0.11.04.1

    Flash works but I use the plugin for updates since I have no idea who this sevenmachine person is.. Hope I posted this right.

    It's a bug. Get version 2.2.0 from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...-aid/versions/
