EZRecovery Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 This article gives you simple steps to optimize your PC memory usageMost of the time, Firefox doesn't use abnormal amount of system memory, it sometimes due to other sources, like number of plug-ins, themes and extensions. It is also highly recommended that you have the latest version of Firefox as the memory usage is minimized. If you want to download the latest copy of Firefox, click here. Follow these steps to check what is causing the abnormal memory usage: * Check your Extensions and Themes. * Check the Plug-ins. * Clear Download History. * Restart Firefox Periodically. * Assign Memory Cache on Firefox. Source I'm not responsible if your browser does not work after you follow the above steps. /EZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using this search button Thanks /EZ You could use the advanced search and look for "+firefox +memory". You need to include the pluses but not the quotes. The pluses tell it to look for both words since the default behaviour is to look for either word (which is just annoying). Or you can search Neowin using Google. "firefox memory site:neowin.net" (without the quotes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
