How to Get Your RAMBack From Firefox 3!

Let me start out by saying, if you haven’t already downloaded Firefox 3, then you definitely should. Although the Firefox team did fix the major memory leaks issues that haunted earlier versions, Firefox 3 with all the plugins, enhanced bookmarking system could still be a memory hog.

Tools Needed:

1. Firefox

Now that you have your tools ready, you can follow those next steps after the jump.

Step 1: After downloading and installing Firefox visit the following page to download the RAMBack plugin / add-on. Click on the “Add to Firefox” button. You will be prompted with the screenshot below. Click “Install Now“.

Step 2: Now restart your browser to complete the installation.

Step 3: After restarting your browser check under tools, you’ll see a the new “Clear Caches“, just right below “Clear Private Data…“.

Step 4: Does it work? I can say it works to a degree, and I assume this add-on / plugin will be very helpful especially if you have your browser open for long hours.

That’s it. Let me know if it works for you, or if you know about any other plugins / add-ons that do a better job.
