You may have noticed that Firefox consumes too much memory. There is some configuration you can do to improve its memory leak. With the following lines the memory used from Firefox will be reduced. The only affect is that the back/front page will become a little slower since web pages won’t be saved in cache. However if you have a fast internet connection this isn’t noticeable.
Type about:config in the address bar.
- In the filter area type browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers Right click on it and choose Modify. Change its value in 0. This way you tell firefox not to store any pages in memory.
- Then right click anywhere in the white space and choose New -> Boolean. Type config.trim_on_minimize and then set it to true. This way Windows will reclaim memory used by Firefox when it is minimized. This doesn’t work under Linux.
- Right click -> New -> Integer Type nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0. This way you tell Firefox to wait 0 miliseconds before first displaying the page requested.
Next in the filter type network.http.pipelining.
- Right click on network.http.pipelining and press toggle. It will change to true. This way Firefox will attempt to use pipelining in HTTP 1.1 connections.
- Right click on network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and press Modify. Change its value to 8. This way Firefox will make more requests at once for retrieving a page.
