Solve : Can Someone Translate this to english Plz.?

Answer»

Firefox is a great browser, but it costs a lot in memory usage. It's not uncommon to see 50,000 KB of memory in use. While that can't be fixed completely, here's a way to cut down on memory usage when it's minimized:

1. Open a new tab.

2. Enter about:config into the Address Bar.

3. Right-Click in any empty space. CREATE a New Boolean.

4. Enter config.trim_on_minimize as the Boolean's name.

5. Set it to true.

Close and restart Firefox. You'll notice a sharp decrease in memory usage:

it sounds great and everything. but how can i open a tab? what is empt space. what the *CENSORED* is boolean's name. where can i find all this plz.

kthx.
Open a new tab by hitting Ctrl+T.
And the Booelan's name is the name of the entry you crate when you right click empty space -> new -> Boolean when in about:config.
Does that help?dude how do you set the boolean to true? can someone just elaborate this simple tut?

thanks.Quote from: K!ra on November 13, 2007, 12:50:02 PM

how do you set the boolean to true?

When you right-click and create the boolean, a WINDOW will appear asking for the boolean name. After you enter "config.trim_on_minimize" and click ok, another window will appear. It will ask whether the boolean is true or false. Select "True" and click ok.

I hope this helps.thx buddy,

just finished doing it.


but still the memory consupmtion is 24,000 per one window of firefox and 39,000 if i open two

are these values normal? thx.Did you restart Firefox?

The memory usage is only trimmed when Firefox is minimized. When it is brought back into focus, the memory usage goes back up a bit.

My normal memory usage RUNS between 30,000 - 50,000 for one window and five tabs. When the memory usage gets high, I minimize the window and bring it back to focus. That cuts the memory usage back down to around 30,000.thanks Kip for the tips.

This firefox browser is an interesting & exciting labyrinth. much better than IE.
It never seizes to amaze me with all these add-ons and tricks and tips.....

I ll try doing what you said later when i get back home, as now i am working on a desktop with IE only.
