Reduce Firefox’s memory usage when minimized
September 7th, 2007
Everybody knows that Firefox has problem with the memory usage. Sometimes it can reach to hundreds of megabytes. But here is a trick on how to reduce the memory usage when you minimize your Firefox.
1. Type about: config in the Firefox address bar and press Enter.
2. Right click in the page and select New > Boolean.
3. Type config.trim_on_minimize in the box that pops up. Press Enter.
4. Select True and then press Enter.
5. Restart Firefox.
What it will do is, when each time you minimize your Firefox, the memory usage will dramatically drop down to about 10 MB but then it will slowly increase up to 50 MB. When you maximize it back, it will stay put at 50 or maybe 70 MB.
