As I perused the internet, looking for cool tech stories, I came across a link to a Firefox memory leak fix that actually works.

So here's the deal:

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar
2. Create a new boolean called "config.trim_on_minimize"
3. Set it equal to "true"

Now, all you have to do is minimize the browser window, and Firefox will automatically cut down the amount of memory it is currently using.

And for those of you wondering, apparently Mozilla knew about this fix.

So there you go. A way to cut back Firefox's memory usage until Mozilla fixes the problem with an official patch!
