Memory Fox for Firefox

[biometrics]

Just got a great tip from the Steve Gibson podcast Security Now. Memory Fox for Firefox. It actually works. Down from 300 MB to 200 MB while here and streaming.

I will give it a try. FF is currently on 1387MB and the plugin container on another 135MB.

I enjoy my firefox actually using my memory

Yeah if all your gigs don't get used periodically it becomes stale

Erm, just been pointed out to me that you need to click the little M icon left of the address bar to actually make it active ... must say it makes a huge difference.

thx. so the m needs to be green huh?

 

[PsyWulf]

Yep

 

[Park@82]

seems to use a lot of cpu at stages. /disabled for now

After my initial excitement I've also uninstalled it.
