Have you ever noticed that while using the Firefox browser, it seems to consume massive amounts of your RAM? Here is a fix I just came across:
Firefox Memory Leaks/Other Issues.
So if you’ve used Firefox you’ve probably noticed that it suffers from what can be described as a fairly harsh “memory leak”. The main cause of the problem appears to lie within the plugin for Flash content. There are 2 workarounds that I’ve located.
The first is rather straightforward and simple but wasn’t practical for me. All you have to do is un-install/remove the flash plugin and performance increases significantly.
The other option (and the one I’m using) requires you to make some changes to the Firefox configuration. This is how you fix this “memory leak” problem. (It’s not actually a leak, it just doesn’t flush the cache it has.)….

Thanks, and a 4-wide salute to ChurchMedia.net for pointing me to this fix.
