Automatically clear RAM in Firefox
I reviewed the RAMBack add-on for Firefox 3 yesterday which provided a function to clear RAM in Firefox 3 to avoid an steady increase of memory usage of Firefox during a session. The only thing that was not optimal was that the user had to press a button to clear the RAM. An automatic solution to clear the RAM would be preferable.
Cache Status is a Firefox add-on that can clear the RAM and Disk Cache of Firefox automatically when it reaches a defined number. The add-on is not yet compatible with Firefox 3 right away but it works flawlessly if the install.rdf file is alterered that comes with the installation package.
To do that you need to download the Firefox extension from this link by right-clicking on the button and saving it to your hard disk. Now open the downloaded file with an unpacker like Winzip, Winrar or 7-Zip and extract the install.rdf file from the package.
Open install.rdf in a text editor and search for the line that begins with . Replace the complete line with the following line
