Nowadays, one of the variables that determine the effectiveness of a browser is the performance standard that it has set for itself. Developers are constantly at work trying to trim code or optimize it in order to allow general users and enthusiasts to get the most out of their copies of the browser, which in turn leads to better word of mouth and overall better adoption of the browser in the market. The faster the browser, the more popular it is with the masses. We recently spent a significant amount of time with the Firefox browser, and we were really impressed with how smooth and quick the new version of the browser has become. What we particularly like about this browser are the extra features that the creators have included, which allow users to gain a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the browser while also experiencing some pleasant surprises.
One of the features of the Firefox browser is the ability to monitor its performance and identify which tabs are causing the browser to slow down, as well as how much memory is being consumed by the same. Using the instructions in this article, we will show you how to track the performance of your Mozilla Firefox web browser.
Step 1. Open the Firefox browser on your computer.
Step 2. Click on the menu button that is found next to the URL bar to reveal a drop-down menu.
Step 3. In the drop-down menu, click on the ‘More Tools’ option. This will reveal a sub-menu that contains added features for the browser.
Step 4. In this sub-menu, click on the ‘Task Manager’ option.
This will now open a new tab with a list of all the tabs that are currently open in the browser and how much memory, each of these browsers is taking up on your system. This will give you a fair idea about the performance of the browser on your system and if you notice any of the tabs are occupying too much memory, you can immediately close them to make your browser and your system a lot more responsive.
