Regularly praised for its functionality, with a feature set that has made it more popular than Microsoft's Internet Explorer among computer savvy users, a persistent criticism of Firefox has been its speed. Despite its intuitive accessibility and strongly customizable interface, the performance of this browser - even for systems on which such issues are a rarity - has been difficult.

With many tabs opened, Firefox has become infamous for using an inordinate amount of memory. On systems with a shortage of ram, being made to quit the application altogether is not a uncommon occurance.

These issues are most commonplace on those computers that either need to be upgraded or have not been correctly optimized. We understand that not everybody can go out and outfit their computer with lots of ram, especially in this age where financial concerns remain paramount. Taking that into consideration, it should be observed that there exists an effective method of improving the performance of Firefox with the use of an easy utility created for just that purpose.
