Ever notice that Firefox tends to be a memory hog? If not, you’re obviously not a Firefox user. According to this article from Lifehacker, the Memory Fox program will “keep an eye on your browser’s memory usage and notices when Firefox starts edging toward user-preset resource limits. When it does, the extension springs into action, automatically flushing your memory to recover space and keep your browser from slowing down.”
This addon looks promising especially for those with older computers without a lot of memory. (Public access computers anyone?)
