Eliminate Firefox memory leaks Firemin is a small app that eliminates all memory leaks in Firefox and keeps memory consumption at bay. The program runs in the system tray and constantly optimizes Firefox's memory by forcing it to release some of the memory it so greedily hangs on to. During our review, we ran Firefox with 8 opened tabs and just let it sit there for 30 minutes. During that time, memory consumption steadily increased to nearly 100 mb. We then activated Firemin and memory consumption decreased to 1-5 mb and remained within that range for the duration of the test. Firemin uses a save Microsoft API (EmptyWorkingSet) to force Firefox to release some of the reserved memory without causing stability problems. Runs in the system tray and does not require installation. Copyright Snapfiles.com

Buggy software 2 stars by Bebo10 Nov 05, 2012 (Read all my 2 reviews)
I didn't see much of a difference if any, as I am using a memory optimizer, and the options are NOT saved, always reverts to don't launch Firefox, needs fixing! showShow review details
I guess it really does work 5 stars by gimpguy Aug 12, 2012 (Read all my 1072 reviews)
Immediately after optimizing, launching Firefox, there was a difference. Firefox is now opening right away, pages are loading fast and there is no more delay. Regardless if this was supposed to accomplish such a thing, it works. Multiple tabs open, no issues or slowdowns. I was reluctant to use this as Firefox was always fairly stable for me but this really did make a difference and anyone who uses Firefox should get this. showShow review details
A really go green software! 5 stars by xiruahu Jun 24, 2012 (Read all my 5 reviews)
I'm running Firefox with six windows open and the memory consumption is lower than 5 MB. And Firemin is consuming only 838 kb. Really impressive! showShow review details
