![]() ![]() All I did was tweak our Memory Booster a little and applied it to Firefox (including Firefox extensions) and all the memory leaks was gone. Enter Firemin simply put, it will attempt to eliminate Firefox memory leaks and decrease the amount of memory Firefox uses. Rather than complain about it, we decided to fix it. In a memory leak you'll see the memory usage keep increasing the longer the program is open/in-use and this is exactly what happens with Firefox. It's quite normal for Firefox to be sucking up over 200MB of memory right off the bat. We like keeping our apps running for a few days (that's just the way I roll) and because of this Firefox was using over ~800MB of memory after about 3 days. Although Firefox memory usage improved a little over the last few years, it still uses a lot of memory a little more than I feel comfortable with and for this reason I created Firemin. ![]() Verdict:įiremin will instantly save you more than 100MB of RAM, and maybe much more, but also increase your hard drive activity and CPU usage.One of the biggest "improvements" that Mozilla claims is the Firefox memory usage, in particular, the vanquishing of memory leaks. ![]() And if there's an issue you can address it a little in the program's options, reducing Firemin's CPU usage at the expense of accepting extra Firefox RAM consumption. Firemin must run all the time (while you're using Firefox) to do its work, and Windows also has to spend extra time swapping RAM out, and bringing it back when necessary.įortunately this probably won't make much difference. ![]() It worked for us, too, drastically reducing RAM consumption.īut there is a catch. No installation required, no settings to configure, Firemin simply runs in the background, looking for the Firefox.exe process and, if it's there, uses Windows API calls to reduce the browser's memory consumption. Download it, unzip the file, run Firemin.exe - and you could stop there. The program couldn't be any simpler to use. Firemin is a tiny tool that's been designed to minimise Firefox's RAM use. ![]()
