Firemin: Eliminate Firefox memory leaks

Eliminate Firefox memory leaks Firemin is a small app that eliminates all memory leaks in Firefox and keeps memory consumption at bay. The program runs in the system tray and constantly optimizes Firefox's memory by forcing it to release some of the memory it so greedily hangs on to. During our review, we ran Firefox with 8 opened tabs and just let it sit there for 30 minutes. During that time, memory consumption steadily increased to nearly 100 mb. We then activated Firemin and memory consumption decreased to 1-5 mb and remained within that range for the duration of the test.

Firemin uses a save Microsoft API (EmptyWorkingSet) to force Firefox to release some of the reserved memory without causing stability problems. Runs in the system tray and does not require installation.

The Good:

This really works well , and dose what it says

The Bad:

the Launch FireFox when Firemin starts did not work for me using Version 0.3.6.369 , but is no big deal I recommend this totally if your a FireFox user.
