I remember Shankar pointing out that Digg hangs often, in his <a href="http://blog.shankarganesh.com/2007/11/21/firefox-3-beta-1-first-impressions/" rel="nofollow">review of Firefox 3 beta 1</a>. @Haris: FF3 is on Opera's engine? It's not, and Martijn points out the reason(the comment after yours). @Nirmal: It sure is, but the worst part is over with v2. v3 has better resource throttling, though memory usage stays high (unfortunately). But hey, I'd take a bloated but crash-resistant browser over a bloated, crashing browser any day. @Tonnet: Firefox acts strange upon encounteing JS intensive pages.

That's not possible, because Opera is not open source. Of course Firefox 3 is not built on Opera’s engine. That’s not possible, because Opera is not open source.

I do hope all the problems mentioned gets fixed in the next beta release. Firefox 3 is built on Opera’s engine. I do hope all the problems mentioned gets fixed in the next beta release.

I'be been trying Firefox 3 Beta 1 and as you said still hangs up, specially when you have javascript's pages open. They said this is a Beta test and they are ready to make impovements but many people disagree. See what <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/11/20/firefox-3-beta-1-the-memory-use-says-it-all/" rel="nofollow">TechCrunch</a> has collected. Hi Su.
