I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on the forum before but I did a few of the tweaks found here a few weeks ago http://www.lifehacker.com/software/firefox...eaks-209941.php to make things allot easier Just copy and paste ( about:config ) in a new tab it will open the config page where you make the changes and still have the instructions in the other tab. I found some of these quiet useful.
Think there may be an error in that link?

Limit RAM usage
All versions: Goodness knows I've done a good amount of belly-aching about Firefox's voracious appetite for RAM. (It's consistently the most memory-intensive process on both my PC and Mac.) Happily a simple config tweak got Mem Use right back down to a more comfortable number. Along with the previous prefetch mod, set your browser.cache.disk.capacity to a value that fits your total RAM.
* Key: browser.cache.disk.capacity

- shouldn't it be "browser.cache.memory.capacity"?
