How to lower the amount of memory that Firefox
uses?
Fist of all you should see this: How to Reduce Firefox Memory Usage
But if you are in a hurry...
1. In your Firefox address bar, enter the following text:
about:config
2. Scroll down to the entry titled browser.cache.memory.enable and make
sure the Value is set to true. If it’s not, double-click anywhere in the
browser.cache.memory.enable line and the status will change to true
3. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window
and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu
4. Enter browser.cache.memory.capacity in the New integer value pop-up
box
5. You’ll need to enter a number in the Enter integer value, but that
number depends on how much memory you have (specifically, how much you want to
‘give‘ Firefox). If you have 256MB or less RAM, enter 4096 as the value. If you
have 512MB of RAM, enter 6144 or 8192. If you have 128MB or less RAM, you may
want to consider upgrading - memory is getting very inexpensive.
6. Confirm that the new entry has been created and the integer value is
correct
7. If for any reason you wish to restore the default settings, change the
browser.cache.memory.capacity integer value to -1 (that’s minus one).
