    Assign Memory Cache on Firefox:

    Firefox doesn't use memory cache and uses system memory by default, it is good to assign a fixed memory cache to reduce the usage of memory. Here's how you do it:


    1. Open the Firefox browser.
    2. Key in about:config in the address bar.

    3. Key in browser.cache.memory.enable in the Filter field.

    4. Ensure the value of the above item is set it true, if not, double-click on it to set it to true.
    5. Right-click in the browser and select New -> Integer from the pop-up.

    6. Key in, browser.cache.memory.capacity, click OK.

    7. You need to enter a value here and that value depends upon the RAM your computer has.

    8. if you have:
      1. 256MB RAM - Enter "4096".
      2. 512MB RAM - Enter "8192".
    9. Note: If you have 128MB or less RAM then you need to upgrade your RAM. It is not very expensive.
    Important: If you want to restore to default settings then change browser.cache.memory.capacity value to -1 (minus 1).
