tips to reduce memory usage In Mozilla Firefox :
- Type about:config in the Firefox address bar
- Search for browser.sessionhistory.max_entries
- Double click on the value 50, change it to something lower, say 5 .
On an average we surf less than 5 of the websites we previously surfed before, there is no need to use up that much memory (which is 50 by default)
Releasing the memory when Firefox is minimized :
- Launch Mozilla Firefox
- Key in about:config in the address bar.
- Right click at the content (anywhere) and choose New->Boolean.
- In the textbox, type config.trim_on_minimize and press OK.
- Set the value to true, and press OK.
- Restart firefox to take effect.
It is highly recommended to uninstall unnecessary themes and plug-ins in order to reduce the memory usage.Using the above technique you may achieve around 50 MB save in memory usage.
