Default Firefox 7 (with memory leak fix) is here

Mozilla Firefox Web Browser — Free Download

I am yet to check it out but initial tests show that FF 7 consumes slightly more memory at startup but actively frees up unused RAM with usage. It consumed less RAM than Opera with 9 tabs open here: Browser Speed Tests: Firefox 7, Chrome 14, Internet Explorer 9, and More

Waiting for further results and personal experience.

^With or without extensions, FF will consume higher memory at startup but after using for some time memory consumption will fall.

Well For me Firefox started @ 105MB with 19 active Ext. and @ 12 Tabs it was 225-250MB.

Well about Slow start I didn't notice anything.

Me neither, but I never post about that as I have 6GB RAM.
