Firefox Memory Leak Tweak (AND MORE!)
I haven’t posted anything new lately, and this may not be what an average computer user would want to read, but I think that’s it’s an important post, since it can fix the Memory leak bug in Firefox (all versions!).
I’ve been a Firefox user for a very long time, and have done most of the tweaks out there prior to the release of that article, but this tweak really caught my attention, since I always experience this frustrating memory leak bug (probably because I usually have 10+ tabs open, and sometimes, 2-3 instances (of the browser that we’re discussing) with about the same number of tabs.
Quick fix:
Type about:config in the Address Bar.
Look for browser.cache.disk.capacity.
Modified Value: Depends on your system’s total memory. According to Computerworld:
For RAM sizes between 512BM and 1GB, start with 15000. For RAM sizes between 128MB and 512M, try 5000.
More tweaks here.
This tweak worked for me, and I hope it works for you, too!
Happy tweaking!
