Firefox Memory Hack

Seriously, the memory hack from the post below is fucking awesome.

Minimize your browser with a current memory footprint of 120MB and then BAM!, 10MB.

That should be a default, right there. DEFAULT!

And here it is again for posterity:

This little hack will drop Firefox’s RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:

1. Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
2. Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
3. In the box that pops up enter “config.trim_on_minimize”. Press Enter.
4. Now select True and then press Enter.
5. Restart Firefox.
