Firefox memory issues

Lately, I’ve been having major memory issues with Firefox. To the tune, today, of it eating some 350mb of RAM. Not virtual memory… actual physical RAM.

So… what does one do to fix this? So glad you asked:

1)Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
2)Right click any line to bring up a sub-menu
3)Choose “new”>”integer”
4)paste this into the dialogue that appears: browser.cache.memory.capacity
5)Next click Okay
6)Specify the amount in kb (about 60000 should do) in the next dialogue that appears
7)Restart Firefox and happy surfing.
