If the robot stays running for a long time, it consumes 100% of its brain and falls over.


Although, to be fair, I hear they have fixed quite a few memory leaks this time around: "Over 300 individual memory leaks have been plugged..." (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b1/releasenotes/)


Firefox still leaks like a sieve, but at least it doesn't make X leak anymore. So I can just restart firefox instead of restarting my X session.

This was a damn good time, luckly the police didn't come over and bug us about a permit.
