Can't wait for session restore and undo close!! I use the session manager extension at work, but for some reason, it makes firefox unresponsive sometimes. The only solution I am left with is to load firefox safe mode and reset all settings.I love how the really popular and useful extensions are eventually integrated into the newly released builds.

was it motivated by recent release of IE7 beta3?

FF 1.0 RC1 turned out to be the actual release build.

@OBKenobiActually you dont have to use google. You can have a local list maintained or you can use any other service provider. Dont bash a feature unless you know what it does or how it works.

Middle click to close tabs is fine and dandy on my work desktop, but laptops don't have middle buttons to click, thus I need an 'X' on each tab to make Firefox usable at home.

Typical cost/benefit analysis. If your draconian policies are making you less productive (or your users, which they definitely are), is that loss greater or lesser than the loss created by allowing the increasingly tech-savvy userbase to manage their own machines, and having to clean up after them?

There is no memory leakage in Firefox. Firefox requests memory and Windows gives whatever it can give. If you have sufficient memory, Windows will continue to give memory to Firefox. When Firefox is done with memory, it marks it as unused. Windows won't get the memory back, why would he do that, if Firefox wanted that much memory, he might want the same amount later? If you start another program on your computer that needs a lot of memory, Windows will eventually trim down the memory usage of Firefox to the bare minimum (20MB or so). If Firefox takes a lot of memory in your Task manager, it is good news, you have too much memory available.
