How to reduce the memory footprint of Firefox

Even though Firefox is the most customizeable web broswer one could get for free there is always scope to tweak it and improve on it constantly. Here I would tell you how to reduce its memory footprint so it occupies less memory at a time.

Step 1: Type about:config into your location bar and hit Enter.

Step 2: In about:config, type browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers.

Step 3: Double-click and change the -1 setting to 0 and hit Enter.

Step 4: Restart your browser.

And there you are. Even though the reduction would be less but if you use Firefox the entire day this could have significant benefits.
