I’m not sure how true this is but there’s some sense to it. I actually noticed some benchmarks that show Firefox 64-bit is not as good as 32-bit yet. 1GB may seem a lot but I’ve experienced with long sessions on Google Street View which consumes a hell lot of cache and 1GB out of my 8GB system RAM seems optimal here. I’ve disabled Firefox disk cache and set 1GB for Firefox RAM cache which is of course cleaned when I close Firefox, and that’s what I used to do anyway with disk cache enabled. It’s a hidden setting, even if I’m not sure if it hasn’t become obsolete … I know that I felt the difference when I tested it first time, unless it was a placebo effect … specify the sqlite disk sync mode to use It also allows me to set an about:config to a value which is not recommended when transfers are on HD but which really improves the Firefox sessions : Now You: Do you run a 32-bit or 64-bit web browser?Ī simply mounted a RAM disk (Dataram here), provided a size for the disk (128MB as it holds both Firefox and Thunderbird profiles) and selected options ‘Save Disk Image at Shutdown’ and ‘Load Disk Image at Startup’.įirefox once running deals with its data in RAM which avoids HD usage and increases fluidity. The percentage of 64-bit versions of Firefox on Windows will pick up pace once Mozilla makes the version of the browser a default option in the installer, and when the upgrade of 32-bit versions of Firefox to 64-bit begins. ![]() October 2017: Eligible 32-bit Firefox installations are upgraded to 64-bit using the browser's upgrade functionality.August 8, 2017: Firefox 55 will ship with 64-bit as the default.Run some tests, make 64-bit Firefox the default for all eligible users afterwards. ![]()
