In this lesson I'm gonna show you how to reduce the memory usage from Firefox.
Everybody knows that Firefox has got some problems with the memory usage.
Sometimes it can reach to hundreds of megabytes...
Ok, first thing we are going to do is;

1. Type about:config in Firefox.
2. Right click in the page that now appears and select New -> Boolean.
3. Type config.trim_on_minimize in the box that just popped up. Press Enter after you did this.
4. Now select True and then press Enter. . .
5. Now restart Firefox and you are done!!!

Now, when you minimize Firefox, the memory usage will dramatically drop down
to 10Mb, this is what happens at my PC, but then it will slowly increase up to
like 50Mb, when you maximize it again, it will stay at like 50Mb/70Mb.
