Firefox: Make Firefox Run Better

Firefox is a great browser, but its a memory hog. Here are a few tips to help you make Firefox use less memory and run more efficiently.

• Uninstall any extensions that you're not using.
  
• Disable the 'Page Saving' feature. This feature saves a copy of every page you visit in memory. It help the browser to load pages that you already visited faster, but it can use a lot of memory.
• In the URL field type "about:config"
• In the filter field type, "browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers"
• Change the value to "0"
• If you have several downloads listed in the Download area clear them out.
• From the Tool menu, select Downloads
• Press the 'Clean Up' button
• If you're having problems with Firefox starting correctly, try starting it in 'Safe Mode'. This mode prevents any extensions or themes from loading.
  
• From the Run... command, type "firefox.exe -safe-mode"
