As we all know that the Firefox browser takes a lot of our computer memory, this is of course made a slow computer performance and also affect our activity on the internet.
Why does this happen? One main cause is because Firefox itself. Although popular, it seems that Firefox is not a lightweight browser. This browser is quite fat and wasteful, because it spent a fairly high computer resource. For the first time you run it this browser (version 2) spends at least 10 mega memory in Linux, and 20 mega in Windows. The more you open tabs / web then spent the greater memory and the CPU busies all you work. Read the rest of this entry »
In previous versions of PuTTY, 0.59, 0.60 and 0.61, the password used to log on to an SSH2 server was retained in memory.
The password was then retrievable by other programs that could read the memory, or could be found in swap files and crash dumps.
The update also fixes non-security-related errors including correcting the rendering of underlines and VT100 line-drawing characters, removing a spurious GSSAPI authentication message, restoring saved sessions, and closing a leak of file mapping handles when authentication failed.
Details of the changes are in the release notes. Pre-built binaries and source code for the MIT-licensed PuTTY are available to download.
Popular Firefox is not a light browser as many thinks, with number of ADDONs loaded and multiple tab opened it can eat up all the available memory. More and more you open tab/website more your memory is consumed and progressively stir your processor.
But by this memory tune-up you can improve performance of Firefox. Please follow steps:-
Open firefox. To config firefox at address bar type about:config
1. Limit Capacities of Cache Memory
The more and more you opens the web/tabs, Your computer memory progressively used up. To limit it add new option: browser.cache.memory.capacity.
- Right Click in the Firefox Windows, New > Integer. Type “browser.cache.memory.capacity” then Press Enter,
- Put into number 2048. 2048 here mean using maximal memory cache only 2 Mb.
2. Limit Capacities of cache history
- "browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers", alter value -1 to 3.
3. Limit Capacities of Cache Disk
- "browser.cache.disk.capacity", alter the value 50000 become 2000
4. Disable unused extension/addons
