Enter Firemin simply put, it will attempt to eliminate Firefox memory leaks and decrease the amount of memory Firefox uses.

Rather than complain about it, we decided to fix it. In a memory leak you’ll see the memory usage keep increasing the longer the program is open/in-use and this is exactly what happens with Firefox. It’s quite normal for Firefox to be sucking up over 200MB of memory right off the bat. We like keeping our apps running for a few days (that’s just the way I roll) and because of this Firefox was using over ~800MB of memory after about 3 days. Although Firefox memory usage improved a little over the last few years, it still uses a lot of memory a little more than I feel comfortable with. One of the biggest “improvements” that Mozilla claims is the Firefox memory usage, in particular, the vanquishing of memory leaks.
