[the] Code Girl (aka UnrulyGrrl)

Are you tired of Firefox taking up more and more RAM the longer you leave it running? Do you have to kill and restart it every day or two just to get back some RAM? Well suffer no more. It’s just one easy setting. Go to

about:config

and add this NEW value, of type Integer:

browser.cache.memory.capacity

The value is in KB, so to set it for 16MB, set the value ‘16384′. That should be plenty. By default this value is ‘-1′ which means ‘TAKE EVERYTHING I HAVE, PLEASE!’.

NOTE: This works on EVERY operating system [AFAIK], even sucky winDoze
