Firefox memory tip
1.
Type in "about:config" into the address bar and press enter, and agree to be careful. Right click anywhere and choose New > Integer. Call it browser.cache.memory.capacity 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. 2. Type in "about:config" into the address bar and press enter, and agree to be careful. Right click anywhere and choose New > Boolean Call it config.trim_on_minimize What this does is, no matter how much memory Firefox is currently using, when you minimize it, it will shrink right down to 10mb of used ram! It'll slowly creep back up to 50mb but not exceed that. Then when you restore it, it'll stay at or close to 50mb. Restart Firefox after you've added these values. ![]() |

I forgot to mention it, probably because it's obvious (to me), but for config.trim_on_minimize, set it to true

Ultimately it's up to you, but I use 8192 even though I have 2GB.
It stops Firefox from getting out of control but doesn't seem to slow it down at all. |

Stuart, you ever heard of the problem that a website takes ages to open in Firefox but once it's loaded works fine? I am talking about 2-3 minutes for the first load

All of these things can be managed though using various settings in the about:config. All Firefox users should have these settings like this: network.http.pipelining: true network.http.proxy.pipelining: true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 8 content.notify.backoffcount: 5 plugin.expose_full_path: true ui.submenuDelay: 0 If you have: Fast Computer, Fast Connection content.interrupt.parsing: true content.max.tokenizing.time: 2250000 content.notify.interval: 750000 content.notify.ontimer: true content.switch.threshold: 750000 nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0 network.http.max-connections: 48 network.http.max-connections-per-server: 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 8 browser.cache.memory.capacity: 65536 A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used. If you have: Fast Computer, Slower Connection content.max.tokenizing.time: 2250000 content.notify.interval: 750000 content.notify.ontimer: true content.switch.threshold: 750000 network.http.max-connections: 48 network.http.max-connections-per-server: 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 8 nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0 browser.cache.memory.capacity: 65536 If you have: Fast Computer, Slow Connection browser.xul.error_pages.enabled: true content.interrupt.parsing: true content.max.tokenizing.time: 3000000 content.maxtextrun: 8191 content.notify.interval: 750000 content.notify.ontimer: true content.switch.threshold: 750000 network.http.max-connections: 32 network.http.max-connections-per-server: 8 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 8 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 4 nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0 browser.cache.memory.capacity: 65536 If you have: Slow Computer, Fast Connection content.max.tokenizing.time: 3000000 content.notify.backoffcount: 5 content.notify.interval: 1000000 content.notify.ontimer: true content.switch.threshold: 1000000 content.maxtextrun: 4095 nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 1000 network.http.max-connections: 48 network.http.max-connections-per-server: 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 8 dom.disable_window_status_change: true If you have: Slow Computer, Slow Connection content.max.tokenizing.time: 2250000 content.notify.interval: 750000 content.notify.ontimer: true content.switch.threshold: 750000 nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 750 network.http.max-connections: 32 network.http.max-connections-per-server: 8 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 8 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 4 dom.disable_window_status_change: true Give that a try based on your setup, and you should see an improvement. It won't "fix" the problem as the first time you load a site, it has to do a bunch of things using all this stuff.... and each load after will just load it from your cache. |

Also, would you happen to know why FF sometimes won't play flash videos like youtube? It has no sound and plays like the first 2 seconds and stop. So annoying having to open IE because of this..

My guess is it's the flash player plugin for your browser. I had a problem where youtube videos would crash firefox every time they opened, I finally reinstalled - actually updated flash, and it cleared up the problem.

For everyone asking, not all of those are set already, so you'll have to add them, just like the config.trim_on_minimize option.
So, for those that you have to add, here are the rules.... If it is true or false, it's a boolean. If it has letters, it's a string, if it's just a number, it's an integer. So, for nglayout.initialpaint.delay, you'd right click on the screen and put New > Integer and enter the number into the next box. |

Thanks StuartD! I was having problems with my FireFox recently so I uninstalled and removed any traces of it from my system, reinstalled, and did these tips, now my problems seem to have disappeared.

good tips... it is worth noting, if only by myself, that my firefox on my macs runs WAY better, smoother, and rarely lags/slows down, unlike firefox on my pcs.
Any idea(s) why this is? |

I went to your site - first load in FF was instant, on reload it hang.. after i restarted FF it loads and reloads pretty fast, but I see HTML parsing problem on a very first line in your source - it's missing ">" at the end of DOCTYPE declaration.. missing those brackets can lead to unexpected behavior ![]()

Simply put, it handles memory management (unused and leaks) better than Windows. |

If all users should have all of these settings, why doesn't firefox set it as default?

What happens if you load up like 100 tabs in a FF instance then?
How would it just minimize all that data to 10mb? Would that create a "HD sleep" effect, where when you go to access it, it needs to 'get up to speed' thus creating a delay? |
