FF 3.5 beta 4 has been out for awhile and I'll probably upgrade whenever one of my favorite add-ons get available for that release. Memory management is said to be even better in 3.5 over 3.1, which so far has been great.
I'm running 3.5 b4, so it is most certainly not better. In fact, as I type this, I have ONE window, and ONE tab, and the damn thing is using 740MB.
