Default Firefox has gotten to be a real memory hog

I am sure most any user of Firefox has noticed in the last few months that it has gotten to be a real

I have been looking for ways to decrease memory usage and release old memory and came across a new one
on me that I want to share with whoever else has not heard of it but has memory bloat problems from the
application.

enter "about:memory" in the same way you would enter "about:config"

click on "minimize memory usage". A rollover will disclose what it does.


The amount of memory used is affected by the complexity of the Web pages
you are viewing, the sizes of any images in those pages, and the number
of tabs you have open.

Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are
so high because they have to recover the costs of developing
those drugs. Two questions:

1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while
prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower?

2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those
development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics?
