To create a new entry, such as browser.cache.memory.capacity, right-click the about:config content space and click New. In this case, select Integer. Enter the preference name and then enter 16000 for the value. These actions address a problem with the memory leak in Firefox.
The browser is supposed to use as much RAM as you have available and then let go of it when another application needs it. The Fox is not a nice animal when it comes to leaks, and this should fix the problem (remember to close and reopen Firefox to have the new configuration take effect). The value 16000 provides 16MB of memory cache; anything needed beyond that is cached to disk.
WOW!
