Reduce memory leaks in Firefox

Reduce memory leaks in Firefox

Every application you run on your computer must take its "part" of memory, and so it is with browsers.

If you open more tabs in your browser, it will require more RAM, and if you have a lack of RAM, this can be a problem. Especially when it comes to Firefox, which is known to "eat" memory even when idle. Firefox Plumber comes to our aid, which has the task of stopping the "leak" of memory in the Firefox browser. Rizone3, who developed this application, claims that with 20 tabs open, the memory dropped from 185 MB to a fascinating 4 MB!

The application has no interface. After you download, unpack and run it, only one fox icon will appear in the tray system (next to the clock). If you want the application to run with the system, you must put it in the startup folder at startup.

Download  Firefox Plumber for free.
