Firemin

A useful and freeware tool for Windows, Firemin is a lightweight application that optimizes memory usage on Firefox by minimizing memory leaks to enhance your browsing experience on this web browser.

Pros

• Intuitive
• Freeware
• Sits in the system tray
• Memory optimization
• Customization options
• Easy-to-use slider control
• Compact SQLite database function

Cons

• Available for Windows only
• Might not be so effective on powerful systems
• Tradeoff with processing power

If you are looking for some powerful tools to optimize your browser, Firemin is one of the best choices. This simple tool is specifically built to work with Firefox to free up unused memory while you use the browser. The simple application works using a Windows system API function that helps clean the memory from processes used by Firefox to optimize as needed.

The program works in the background when the system runs Firefox and keeps a watch on the memory usage to run optimization. Firemin is free to download and ready to start its work from the system tray once launched. You can right-click on the tray icon to adjust its settings from ‘Options’. It presents a slider to select the amount of memory Firefox is allowed to use.

Along with memory optimization, Firemin offers the compact Firefox SQLite databases function accessible from the tray icon. Though this tool delivers less benefit for more powerful systems, it is an excellent aid for normal systems and those that always have Firefox open in the background. It is compatible with Windows 2000 and above.

Final Verdict

Firemin is overall a useful tool for any Firefox user looking to optimize memory. The slider lets you adjust how little or more memory you want your Firefox to use. This adjustment, however, has a tradeoff with the processing power. But this small program is particularly beneficial for low specifications and systems that run Firefox all day.
