Submission + - First Look at Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 (zdnet.com)

DaMan writes: ZDNet takes Firefox 3.0 beta 2 for a spin and draw some conclusions that should be sweet music to Mozilla's ears.

"Beta 2 feels snappier and far more responsive than beta 1 (or Firefox 2.0 for that matter) and I can feel the difference on all the systems that I've tried it on — from a lowly Sempron system to my quad-core monsters. No matter what you want doing — opening a new tab, moving tabs, opening up Find, zooming in and out of the page, bookmarking — it all happens swiftly and smoothly."

Also, someone's been busy plugging leaks:

"What surprises me about the Firefox 3.0 beta is how many memory leaks that Mozilla have fixed. Complaints of memory leaks with Firefox 2.0 were met with an attitude of "Leaks? What leaks?" Considering that there have been more than 300 leaks plugged, it's obvious that past versions leaked like sieves."
