Reducing RAM usage in Firefox browser without extensions

At the beginning, and before reviewing the method, I want to clarify the meaning of RAM or memory consumption by Firefox. Browser Firefox or any program on your device consumes RAM and other resources such as the processor. Therefore, you may notice after a period of using Firefox, perhaps after some time of running the program and starting browsing, you notice slowness and freezing in the browser, making the device freeze, happening to everyone. Because every program running on your device consumes space from RAM and the processor, when consumption reaches the maximum limit, your device starts to freeze, and you may have either the option to cancel the operation or restart the device. But since the release of version 22 of the Firefox browser, there is a feature that allows reducing RAM consumption.

The method is easy: you copy and paste the sentence about:memory in the browser’s address bar, then you will notice an icon titled Minimize Memory Usage , so you press it.

This feature deletes and empties temporary memory from unimportant data in addition to other things, so you will immediately notice that RAM consumption has decreased. And you will see the phrase Memory minimization completed .

In order to clarify the method and the feature, it should be noted that this feature does not help if you run the browser and then use it. But it is useful if you run the browser and start browsing, after a long time of opening and closing windows, consumption reaches its maximum limit, at this moment you use the method and the feature to empty the memory of unimportant files through this method. And if you enter Task Manager immediately after that, you will notice that Firefox consumption has decreased.

Certainly, a very distinctive feature. After using it and trying it on a running session for an hour of opening and closing windows, it became clear to me that the method is very useful. But I also advise you not to use many add-ons on the browser, especially if your RAM is relatively low because there are add-ons that consume RAM heavily. So please be careful. I hope the topic is useful and thank you.
