Reduce Firefox Memory Usage when Minimize

22 Comments

We knew that Firefox has problem with the memory usage. Sometimes it can reach to hundreds of megabytes. But here is a tricks on how to reduce the memory usage when you minimize your Firefox.

  1. Type about:config in Firefox address bar and press Enter.
  2. Right click in the page and select New > Boolean.
  3. Type config.trim_on_minimize in the box that pops up. Press Enter.
  4. Select True and then press Enter.
  5. Restart Firefox.

What it will do is, when each time you minimize your Firefox, the memory usage will dramatically drop down to 10Mb (this is what happen on my PC) but then it will slowly increase up to 50Mb. When you maximize it back, it will stay on 50Mb or maybe 70Mb.

Note: This is only to reduce the Firefox memory usage when you minimize it. Not to fix them. 🙂

Rainlendar 2 – Vertical Dual Calendar Display

2 Comments

I have installed Rainlendar 2 on my dekstop but in this latest version, you are limited to edit the settings. Beside than that, the default skin, Shadow4 doesn’t include vertical dual calendar display which I used it before. So I have to edit the skin source code to make it display the calendar in vertical way.

Here are two screenshots taken from my desktop, the default dual calendar display and the edited one.

Earlier this morning I got an email from my hosting provider (promotion page) about the invoice for my hosting package. I bought the hosting on 19th December 2005 , so I need to renew it before the coming 19th December 2006 or it will discontinue my site hosting. But unfortunately, on 18th to 23rd December I will not be able to online because I will attend for a camp. So I will pay the annual fee earlier and thats mean on that week, I will not update this site.

Because I bought the domain from other services, so I only need to pay RM80 for the hosting. And for the domain which I bought from Saleiz, I will need to pay RM35. All of these cost me to pay RM115.

Urgh…although I’m broke but I still need to pay for them or else, this site will not be able to online. [tags]hosting, package, domain, annual, renew[/tags]
