Maybe one day, but until then, Firemin will lend a friendly hand. Even though Mozilla keeps claiming that they fixed their memory-leaking issues, it seems like this is not completely true. Firemin has not received any negative reviews and no side effects like browsers crashing have been reported, “knock on wood”. Firemin does not contain any malware and actually do decrease Firefox memory usage, up to 95% (under 1MB in some cases). There are similar “Firefox memory boosters” available however, most of them are frauds (work mostly contain spyware and malware) or work using the Placebo function (if you think it will work, it will). Using this function will sometimes result in a slight performance decrease measured in milliseconds, but I do mean slight, the chance of you noticing the performance decrease is almost zero. For those of you who are a little more technically minded, you can read more about it here. Other words, tells Firefox to give back some of the system memory it’s hanging on to. In a memory leak, you’ll see the memory usage keep increasing the more prolonged the browser is open/in-use, and this is what happens with Firefox.Firemin uses a safe API function called EmptyWorkingSet that basically forces the process (in this case Firefox) to use less memory. It’s quite normal for Firefox to be sucking up ~100 MB of memory right off the bat. We like keeping our apps running for a few days (that’s just the way we roll), and because of this, Firefox was using over ~800 MB of memory after about three days. Firefox still uses a lot of memory – way too much memory for a web browser. If you thought it was too good to be true, you were right. One of the most significant “improvements” that Mozilla claims is Firefox memory usage, particularly the vanquishing of memory leaks. With software released under the open source GPLv3 license, anybody can download, install, run and distribute the software with little in terms of restrictions. A portable version is also available.įiremin will eliminate all memory leaks in Firefox by tweaking the Rizonesoft Memory Booster core a little and applying it to Firefox, including extensions. Firemin is a free application released under the GPLv3 license on Windows from Firefox addons. Firemin will eliminate all memory leaks in Firefox by tweaking the Rizonesoft Memory Booster core a little and applying it to Firefox including extensions.
