Firefox 3.0 introduces a range of optimizations. But its memory consumption remains high, which can disrupt the operation of other applications if you tend to open several programs simultaneously. Here is a trick that forces Firefox to release its memory whenever it is reduced in the taskbar.

When reduced in the Firefox taskbar to return to work on other applications, it is no longer a vital need to occupy as much memory and it displays virtually nothing. A setting frees as much RAM as possible as soon as the Firefox window is iconified and until it is reopened.

Open Firefox 3
In the address bar, type "about: config" and click "Enter"
Click on "I promise, I'll be careful! "
Right-click anywhere in the list
Choose New> Boolean
Enter the option name as "config.trim_on_minimize"
Click OK
Select true
Click OK

Just a reminder that altering the settings of your Browser can have effects you had not planned for.
