mozilla is making a new os

Id say it sounds like a waste of time, effort, and money. I'm guessing its going to be android app compatible, otherwise is suicide, and probably a UI redesign.
 
So lets see...take the idea behind ChromeOS, which is terrible to begin with. Add in Firefox's incredibly dismal effort at making a mobile OS...this is just a recipe for disaster.
 
seeing as FF likes to use 1.5gb of memmory id assume you would need something like a petabyte of ram to run their full OS
 
It's odd that so many people on a technical forum like this one believe that a program that is orders of magnitude more complex and robust than it was years ago should still use the same amount of RAM that it did before and any increase in memory usage is just the result of lazy developers.

If you want a web browser that only uses 10MB of RAM, don't expect it to be able to do much more than display the most basic text and gif Geocity websites.

Firefox regularly makes my computer feel like it's 10 years old. 🙁 I find it does a ton of disk access, and using Window's built-in tools, I saw that it's modifying stuff in the cache folder (which I moved off my SSD). I wonder if I need to enlarge the size of my cache... it's whatever the default size is But I'll literally go to a website, hear a bunch of hard drive crunching (Caviar Blacks are so noisy) and the page just loads up instantly after it's finally done eating my hard drive. 😛

Chrome doesn't use nearly as much ram as FF does.

when 8 gigs is only $60 who cares how much memory ff takes, i still like it more than chrome

Good luck squeezing 8 GB of memory in that netbook that you bought two years ago, or in your new tablet or smartphone.

Seriously... I hate lazy software developers who think like you. Optimize your code, you slackers!
