    Trying out the M3 build. Load times are better, some sites , like espn, still take a few seconds to load. Not bad at all.:)

    Browser using too much mem?



    Specify the memory cache usage

    Normally, Firefox determines the memory cache usage dynamically based on the amount of available memory. To specify a specific amount of memory cache, add the following code to your user.js file:

    // Specify the amount of memory cache:
    // -1 = determine dynamically (default), 0 = none, n = memory capacity in kilobytes
    user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 4096);

    To disable the memory cache completely, add the following code:

    // Disable memory cache:
    user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", false);
