How do I reduce the CPU usage of Firefox?
I use Firefox and I love it. Until now, I have had no problem with it, however recently I get messages saying that it has a very high CPU usage and my browser will freeze at random times, sometimes even when I only have one tab open. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to fix this?
Michelle answers:
There is a little add-on call Memory Fox, which when installed will help reduce the amount of CPU usage the browser uses. You can download the latest version, which is version 7.4, at the link below.
Https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/memory-fox/
Also, tweaking your Firefox browser will help reduce the amount of CPU usage the browser uses.
First, check your add-ons. Go to Tools, then add-ons and in the “Extension” tab uninstall or disable any add-on that you don’t use. This includes Java Quick Starter and Microsoft .NET Framework Assistance.
Second, while in add-ons, go to the “Plugins” tab and disable any plugins that cause your browser to slow down. In particular these tree.
-Adobe Acrobat, which bring up PDF files from websites onto your browser. Turning it off will prevent this and your PDF files will open externally.
-get Plus for Adobe. This is not needed.
-Java Platform
-Java Deployment Toolkit (any version)
-MetaStream
-Microsoft DRM
-QuickTime Plugin, which allows you to view QT video on websites
-Realtime HTML 5 Video Shim Plugin
-Shockwave for Director
-Window Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library
and finally, Window Presentation Foundation.
All of the above is not needed.
Third, you can tweak Firefox to run faster on your computer. The link below is video on how to do it.
Don’t forget to restart Firefox in order for the changes to take effect.
Fourth, if you download files into your computer, go to Tool then Download and delete to files from the download list.
If you don’t want to have any download file in the status bar in the future, go to Tools, then Option. Click on the “Privacy” icon and unchecked the box that says “Remember Download History.”
Finally, always, always clean out your recent history, that way Firefox can work faster. Try doing every two weeks or every month, it’s up to you. If you don’t how to clean out your browsing history, the video link below will show you how.
If your browser is leaking memory, the link below will be very helpful with the problem.

This measure works well with all versions.
I hope this information is very helpful.
Good luck and happy browsing

How can download firefox without getting rid of my internet explorer?
I downloaded firefox and i removed it because everytime i download it it gets rid of my internet explorer and i need them both.
So how could i download firefox with it not getting rid of my internet explorer?
can you give me a link of where or how?
Michelle answers:
Hi there,
if you go to www.firefox.com you can download the web browser from there. Downloading and installing this will not remove IE, however firefox may ask to be your default browser. It is ok for this to be the default if you plan to use Firefox more than IE. Once installed both will be on your system and can be used simultaneously if need be.
Good Luck,
Thanks!
