How to reduce the memory usage on Firefox?


Recommended Posts

This article gives you simple steps to optimize your PC memory usage

Most 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.

Sorry Fred. I did not find any before.

Could someone please explain to me how people are able to find threads when they search and I cannot?

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).
