You might have noticed that Firefox performs poorly when you surf for a long time or open lots of tabs at once. This is actually caused because Firefox stores 50 most recently visited websites in a memory session inorder to speed up the pageload of the previously visited site.

Average web surfer tend to visit only 3 – 5 websites out of the previously visited websites, so you can reduce the resource hog by changing the memory threshold to 5 (or anything below 50).This can be done by modifying the following entry in about:config :- "browser.sessionhistory.max_entries" , right click on the entry and choose modify. Now set the value for 5 (or anything lower than 50).

1. With Firefox up and running, type about:config and hit enter.

2. Right click on the new page and select New -> Boolean.

3. In the pop-up window, type in “config.trim_on_minimize” without quotes and hit enter.

4. In the next pop-up window, select True and hit enter.

5. Restart your browser
