Reduce Firefox Memory Usage

October 9th, 2006 • Related • Filed Under

Firefox’s memory leakage problems are well documented. What tends to happen is the longer you browse using Firefox it uses up more and more memory until your PC virtually stips.

This tip from gHacks should reduce Firefox’s memory usage to under 10MB. It’s very simple to implement:

  1. Write ‘about:config’ in your firefox address bar and hit enter
  2. Right click and select ‘new Boolean’
  3. Paste config.trim_on_minimize in the field and hit enter again
  4. Select True from the list
  5. Restart Firefox

Once you’ve done this you should notice a speed improvement on your PC when using Firefox

    I’m new to this Bloging thing and don’t know how to put in a photo or a video. Is there a simple way to cut and paste from my computer files like on Blogger.com?
