If a specified threshold has been reached, the button turns red (it's green otherwise), and clicking on it will quickly restart Firefox. This tool ads a button next to your address bar which displays the browser's current memory usage. Memory Restart is an add-on which keeps an eye on Firefox's memory consumption and gives you a quick way to restart the browser if the resource usage gets too high. Additionally, this tool has secure deletion capabilities, so that the data it destroys could not be recovered. Click&Clean is an effective add-on which is capable of automatically deleting your browser's history, cache and stored cookies, removing Flash Local Shared Objects and clearing your private data each time you close the browser. If you've been using Firefox long enough, you might not actually realize the how much trash that has piled up from your previous browsing sessions. In case you actually want to see a Flash video, simply click on it, and it will be unblocked. HTML5 content still goes through, so you will be able to watch videos if they're using the right plug-in. FlashBlock is a Firefox add-on that automatically stops any Flash-related content from the websites that you open. (Furthermore, the Flash plug-in isn't exactly safe as I've mentioned in a recently written article). If you've tried out the previously mentioned add-on, than you've probably noticed that websites with Flash content take up a whole lot of resources. Moreover, the add-on is capable of performing a garbage collection which will clear out some of the needlessly occupied space and memory. This tool is capable of showing you exactly how much RAM each of your tabs requires, highlights your top 5 resource consumers and provides detailed statistics of your recent and current browsing. In case if you're interested in finding out which of your tabs take up most resources, Tab Data is the solution you need. Furthermore, if the website that you're just previewing (instead of actually clicking on it) uses resource-consuming plug-ins, the overall performance will be less affected. This means that, if all you need is a quick peak to a webpage you've already opened, you can now do so without making the tab active, thus saving precious time. This add-on will allow you to preview open but inactive tabs by hovering your mouse over them. Furthermore, you can instruct the add-on to automatically unload certain tabs, create an exclusion list for tabs that you never wish to suspend and control the way Firefox loads your tabs at start-up.īeing totally honest, Tab Scope won't drastically improve your browser's overall performance, but it could prove to be really useful in certain situations. Basically, this tool is the Firefox version of Chrome's Great Suspender extension. In case you prefer a hands-on approach, Unload Tab is a handy add-on which allows you to manually unload any tab you want and keep it suspended until you are ready to use it. Additionally, this extension will automatically close blank tabs that you didn't mean to open, provide an undo button for when you accidentally close tabs, as well as allow you to select multiple tabs at once, etc. Although not specifically designed to help improve overall performance, this tool is capable of automatically unloading tabs you haven't clicked on in a while, thus stopping them from taking up memory space. Tab Utilities is an interesting add-on which offers some really cool extra functionality.

However, keep in mind that any running add-on will add to your browser's resource consumption, so don't install it unless you actually need it. As I'm sure you guessed from its name, this add-on will check if you've opened the same web page in multiple tabs and, in case you did, automatically close the duplicate one. In case if you're like me and open a million different tabs so that you don't forget where you found a specific bit of information, Duplicate Tab Closer might prove to be useful. (On a 32-bit system, the latest version works fine.) But be warned: if you have a 64-bit operating system, you need to use version 1.3.2.0 instead of the latest one. In my experience, the extension has a visible positive impact on your overall performance, as when I first launched it, Firefox's memory usage dropped by almost 50%. This tool will attempt to reduce both the browser's and the Flash RAM usage.

Memory Fox is one of the best Firefox add-ons you can find.
