The stable version of Firefox 7 is now available for download. The Firefox 7 stable is now uploaded on the FTP server. Although, Mozilla has yet to update the official download page. The new stable version will consume less memory compared to the previous version, as the company claims.
I’m not much of a Firefox fan but still I downloaded the latest build to get my hands on. I definitely saw the improved memory consumption behavior while using it for hours. But, I’d still prefer Google Chrome as a browser over Firefox. If you want to download the latest build, find the download link at the end of the post.
