A small fix for FireFox memory leak problem

Ryan, who found this cool fix says that FireFox stops consuming memory when minimized. For example, he adds, Firefox was at 180MB of memory usage and then he minimized it and after a few seconds he maximized it. After maximizing it and continuing on his other works it appeared to only have gone up to 60MB.
Nice to hear.
Here is what you have to do to tweak:
- Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
- Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
- In the box that pops up enter config.trim_on_minimize. Press Enter.
- Now select True and then press Enter.
- Restart Firefox.
Thanks to Ryan.
