Firefox uses a lot of RAM. It is the number one complaint about this otherwise awesome web browser. So what can you do to solve this issue? Well there are a few rumored fixed out there in the wild.
Here is the nitty-gritty about:config solution to the problem:
- Open up about:config by typing it into your Firefox address bar.
- Right-click, go to new and then integer and name it this: browser.cache.memory.capacity
- For the integer value, enter in 15000 if you have 512MB to 1GB of RAM. For those with less (between 128MB to 512MB), try a value of 5000. You’re done!
Then all you should need to restart Firefox for it to take effect.

It looks like Firefox has two new flaws that I think we should all be aware of. Both of them for the advanced Firefox user, might not be so hard to fall for - but for some others out there, it could be a real issue.
The first one, affects internal frames behavior and could help a malicious web site to spoof another one or capture key presses.
As the old game show host might say, that’s not all! You also get…
The second vulnerability, overrides the timeout Firefox sets for installing extensions and downloading files and could lead to a user inadvertently downloading a malicious file or program.
You can read more about the flaws at MozillaLinks.org.

I have noticed a comment or two here and a post or two somewhere else that Firefox seems to give Mac users some trouble. Now in the future, it has been promised that things should get better (by the time Firefox 3 rolls out) but some do not want to wait. If you feel like you have a good opinion to share about the Apple/Firefox experience, I have a place where you can go sound off.

Now this is no official means of support, but if I know the Firefox crew they will love to hear the feedback no matter where it is posted or how it gets to them.

I want to start up something new here. With all the Firefox Facts fans out there and myself, I think we can do some good and help some folks.
Are you looking for Firefox to do something that it has not done before? Are you having trouble finding the perfect extension to fix your issue? Do you have a request for a Firefox feature that has not been seen before? If you fall into any of these camps - drop me an E-mail at mitch@mitchkeeler.com or use our “submit a tip” link and let me know.
If we get enough, I might make the Firefox Most Wanted a regular feature here on the Web site. Get to it, send me your most wanted requests from the folks at Mozilla and I’ll do my best to either let the world know about it or find a solution for your problem.

One of the few pains in the rear with using the latest and greatest version of Firefox is that it take a little work to get everything working just right.
With every new release of Firefox–like yesterday’s release of Firefox 2 Beta 2–comes the question, “How do I make my old extensions work with the new version?” Some extensions–which Mozilla is now calling Add-ons–made for older versions of Firefox really don’t work with the newer features and can cause problems, but for the majority of add-ons, all that’s needed is basically the flip of a switch.
Need more? Well here are your resources to learn a little more about making your old extensions work with Firefox 2.0.
