How to Reduce Firefox Memory Usage when Minimised

November 21st, 2006

We all know that our beloved 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 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.

The effect: Each time you minimize your Firefox, the memory usage will dramatically drop down to 10Mb (this is what happen on my PC) but then it will slowly increase up to 50Mb. When you maximize it back, it will stay on 50Mb or maybe 70Mb.
Remember.. this only reduces the size of memory usage only when minimize it.

    ¿Quien coños escribe en esta web? ¿En qué idioma habla? ¿Que puñetas es eso de "reducir al mínimo"? Se supone que alguien que crea un blog sobre tecnología, sabe algo de ella, y sabe que "minimize" se traduce como "minimizar". Al menos si quiere que alguien le entienda.
  • WOW! I never knew about this trick. Man i wish you can bring this style of writting back instead of only doing TV.
