This bug fix won't make much of a change right after starting Firefox, it just prevents memory from building up over time due to closed tabs. Additionally it's effective in nightly builds not beta, so 15.0a1 not 13.

Your comparison is useful overall, but not relevant to this change.




Realised that after I posted. Still, as you said this shows that Firefox has come a long way since the 4 days.
