Mozilla Firefox is an excellent web browser, but it’s been known to chew up memory and slow down things down from time to time. This behavior is often a result of having many different browser extensions, themes, and other modifications, all of which require memory. It can also be caused by a cache and browsing history that are chock-full, or plain old memory leaks. Tech support site Zolved offers the following tips to reduce the memory usage on Firefox:
- Upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Firefox.
- Check your Extensions and Themes.
- Check the Plug-ins.
- Clear Download History.
- Restart Firefox Periodically.
- Assign Memory Cache on Firefox.
- Release Memory when Firefox is minimized.
