Tweak Firefox

[Disme]

Anybody having trouble with Firefox sometimes consuming heaps of memory.

What sometimes happens is when you minimize Firefox it stops consuming memory, however when you maximize it again the memory usage will increase, sometimes even doubling.

To prevent this you only have to make a small adjustment:
1. Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config, press Enter.
2. Right-click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
3. In the box that pops up enter "config.trim_on_minimize" (without "") and
press Enter.
4. Select True, press Enter.
5. Restart Firefox and it should be fixed.

Worked fine for me.
