Mozilla has launched a new Facebook application designed to promote the Firefox browser. “Rock Your Firefox” lets you share your favorite Firfox add-ons and see which add-ons your friends are using, all from within the pristine walls of the Facebook network.
The content more or less mirrors that of the normal Firfox add-ons directory — you can browse and search add-ons — but adds the social aspect which means you can discover new add-ons through your Facebook friends (provided they have the app installed).
To find out how much memory Firfox is using, press <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Del> to launch Windows’ Task Manager, click the Processes tab, and scroll to the entry for firefox.exe. Depending on the size and number of pages you’ve viewed recently, the amount listed in the Memory (Vista) or MemUsage (XP) column can run into the hundreds of megabytes. To curb Firfox’s appetite, exit the program and then relaunch Firfox and Task Manager to see how much memory a fresh instance of the browser uses.
