Mozilla Firefox is widely being used today. But some people prefer Internet Explorer more than Mozilla Firefox because Mozilla Firefox consume a lot of memory and sometimes does not respond. Did you notice that Mozilla Firefox consumes a lot of memory over a period of time and sometimes slows down your surfing experience. Don’t worry, there is a solution for you.

Reducing Memory Usage In Mozilla Firefox

1. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar
2. Search for browser.sessionhistory.max_entries
3. Double click on the value 50, change it to something lower, 5 should be good.

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)

Release Memory When Firefox Minimized

Sometimes, user installs a lot of themes, plug-ins, and extensions which will cause their Firefox consume a lot of memory. It is highly recommend that user uninstall unnecessary themes and plug-ins in order to reduce the memory usage.

Normally firefox will take around 80MB of memory after you open a few tabs. But after you "realeased the memory", it only take around 20-30MB.

Steps:

1. Launch Mozilla Firefox
2. Key in about:config in the address bar.
3. Right click at the content (anywhere) and choose New->Boolean.
4. In the textbox, type config.trim_on_minimize and press OK.
5. Set the value to true, and press OK.
6. Restart firefox to take effect.
