Came across this interested post, which states, “Firefox OS: Why My Hard Drive & Software are Obsolete“.

Basically, the idea is that everything will eventually move online and we’ll no longer need a local hard drive with locally installed copies of your favourite software. And I do agree with the general thought that, yes, everything that can, will move online. But it’s a bit far reaching to think that the general public has any idea of this movement. At this point, Firefox is still the minority (although a popular one) and basing your entire technology life around the Firefox browser is a very techie thing to do.

Reading the latest edition of my .Net Magazine and came across this useful Firefox performance tweak:

1) Open Firefox and type About:Config into the address box and click Enter
2) Right-click anywhere on the screen and choose New>Integer

3) A dialogue box appears asking you to enter a preference name. Type in:

browser.cache.memory.capacity

4) Click Ok. Another dialogue box appears. Now this is where you can adjust the amount of RAM Firefox uses for its cache, and different amounts will work for different computers. Enter the value in KB (1MB = 1,024KB). For example:

512MB RAM = 14,000 KB

1GB RAM = 18,000 KB
