MozillaZine has a wonderful set of resources and a problematic extensions list for Firefox. Got rid of the extensions I didnt need and bam my computer went back to a reasonable number, 50mb. On MozillaZine one user said: I was using 7 extensions for Firefox, with no theme at all and my browser would sit, three tabs open, my website, admin panel and Netvibes. Uninstall any theme or plugin that is not absolutely crucial and your computer will run much faster. Mozilla Firefox can do a plethora of things for you, but every time you add on an unnecessary element, you also add on additional memory usage and slow down your computer. Some other issues that can slow down your browsing are themes, extensions and plugins. If you dont want to risk losing track of what you were doing, you can manually save your browsing windows using Firefoxs session manager. When you next open it, it will offer you the opportunity to pick and choose which windows to reopen, or let you reopen all of them. If you find yourself frozen, simply manually shut Firefox down. Firefox has an auto save program built in. Shut It DownĪnother easy way to stop the memory drain is to shut everything down.
It will mess up the look of some sites, but the memory drain and consequent slowness with be stopped. If thats not your cup of tea, you can always go into your task manager and manually kill the flash elements that are currently running. It is easy to bookmark things and get back to them later. The solution? Dont leave open all those tabs. All those colorful animated effects that give a webpage some pizzazz also add up in multiple tabs after a period of time eventually causing Firefox to crash. Typically, high memory drains occur with Firefox because of flash elements. But do you know why it does that or how to stop it? Flash If you, like millions of others, use Mozilla Firefox as an alternative browser to Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, you might have noticed the insane amounts of memory that Firefox takes up after a while.
