title: How to improve Firefox performance?
body: <p>I usually use Firefox as my main web browser, but one of the major problems it has is its memory consumption. After an hour using it, and with no more than 20 tabs opened, it can consume more than 1 GB, and this memory isn't released even if I close the majority or the tabs I have opened. The only solution in this situation is restarting it.</p>
  
  <p>I have read some articles about tuning Firefox, such as:</p>

  </ul>
  
  <p>But the solutions given in these articles didn't work for me.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone managed to tun it to not consume an excesive amount of memory?
  Thank you in advance</p>
