if it was called Firefox X I would totally be on board! or maybe FirefoX.
If it was called FireAsaDotzler I'd be 100% behind it.

Fuck off with the crazy versioning already. Otherwise, we're going to have to start using scientific notation to represent Firefox's version # in a few years. They'll just start skipping to the next 1000-level release # whenever there's a major update - "Firefox 2E3 ?! What the hell happened to 1.78E3 thru 1.99E3?!

No, it's simply a mode in which the dwarves drawing lines in your graphics card walk with their brushes in a straight line instead of staggering along a jagged line like drunkards.

Currently, Firefox is using 417 MB for 9 tabs. The second largest memory hog on my system is Notepad++ at 96 MB.
You're lucky you don't work with IBM software.
My local WAS instance regularly goes above 1.2GB ram usage.
RAD is happy chewing up 600 odd MB
Plain old eclipse doesn't usually need more than 300M

I tried 3.0, got tired of losing data, and downgraded back to 2.0. I tried 3.5, got tired of losing data, downgraded back to 2.0, poked around in Bugzilla until I found the relevant issue, noticed that the problem was not fixed in 3.6, and did not attempt the upgrade.
The most important bug that was keeping me from updating was finally fixed in, umm, I think version 8, maybe 9, but by then I had kind of lost interest in the upgrade treadmill, so at the moment I'm currently still using 2.0.0.20 for now. Maybe I'll upgrade eventually, but I think I'll wait and see which version people say the right kinds of things about so I can upgrade to a *good* version.
An example of "the right kinds of things", which would make me WANT to upgrade, would be something like, "This version doesn't have a lot of completely pointless UI changes, but it does fix most of the outstanding bugs. Support has also been added for a couple more CSS features, and the browser now remembers if you select an alternate stylesheet for a particular site and uses the same one when you visit the site again."
I'm *unlikely* to be so excited about upgrading to a version about which people are saying things like "The new up-is-down left-side scrollbar[1] really makes the browser feel more modern, especially in conjunction with eliminating the window border and hiding the minimize and maximize buttons, which was long overdue. Also, having your preferences stored in the new Choices database allows a completely redesigned preferences dialog that allows you to search and get results from not just your prefs but also from your cookies and the Mozilla Planet feed, all in one unified interface. Additionally, hovering over a link now checks to see if the page it points to has any embedded video or plugin content, and if so it starts playing that in an overlay in front of the page you were looking at."
[1] Imagine if a talented graphics artist spent sixty hours in Photoshop making a Xaw-style scrollbar (like Emacs used to use before it got GTK support) that looks like something out of a magazine ad, complete with reflectivity and glittering highlights. I can totally see the people who thought up the post-3.6 UI changes thinking that would be awesome.
