Is there a way to reduce the memory usage of Firefox?
This works wonders!
- Check your Extensions and Themes. (By running Firefox in safe mode.)
- Check the Plug-ins.
- Clear Download History.
- Restart Firefox Periodically.
- Assign Memory Cache on Firefox. (
browser.cache.memory.enableandbrowser.cache.memory.capacity) - Release Memory when Firefox is minimized. (
config.trim_on_minimize)
I've been testing this for a few days and am very impressed. Reduced from average 150MB to 60MB

Of course, it's an extension so has its own footprint!
