As you would know Firefox is the worst offender when it comes to RAM consumption. Previously I should you some memory optimizing techniques to reduce the memory usage in Firefox, but still it doesn’t significantly reduce the memory usage.

Firefox Ultimate Optimizer is a tiny yet a god’s sent program that reduces Firefox memory usage. You’d be surprise to see the memory usage coming down to around 200 to 300 kilobytes…. What the f#$% 300 kb ? Yes this ain’t fake, it really reduces the memory usage to less then 300kb. Even with five to ten tabs and many extensions running memory usage didn’t went up from say 2mb. I’m just really surprised by this app. In one word “marvelous”.

This trick is a unusual one and I bet many out there don’t know this. Firefox actually features the possibility to set multiple home pages. I’m a big fan of many websites so I atleast need to check 3 most favorite each time I’m online. But be aware that this new feature introduces a performance degradation in Firefox startup as multiple pages are open.

Here is how to configure multiple home pages in Firefox?
