REDUCE FIREFOX RAM USAGE

REDUCE FIREFOX RAM USAGE

If you were having less than 512mb ram then you must always be wondering why firefox uses such a large amount of RAM. Well to limit firefox to it's RAM usage you can do the following trick:

Type about:config in the address bar
Now do the following:

1. In the Filter text box, at the top of the page, type browser.cache.
2. Double-click the "browser.cache.memory.capacity" entry.
3. The default is 50000. If you don't have a lot of memory on your system, for example, between 512MB and 1GB, change the number to 15000 and click OK.

And now you can easily run any other application with firefox.
