Firefox is considered to be quite a storage-hungry browser, and can slow down your system. — dpa
The Firefox web browser is considered to be comparatively hungry for storage space. Users who want to prevent the browser from taking up so much working memory that it brings their whole system to a standstill can take countermeasures with two add-on extensions, according to the German tech magazine Computerbild.
One option is the Duplicate Tab Closer, which prevents browser windows that are already open from accidentally being called up a second or third time, thus consuming unnecessary extra memory.
This automatic mechanism can be activated in the add-on menu under "On duplicate tab detected" by changing the setting from "Do nothing" to "Close tab automatically."
The second add-on, called Max Tabs, prevents open browser tabs from running riot by enabling users to define a maximum number of open tabs. If the limit has been reached, the add-on prohibits every attempt to open up an additional tab. — dpa
