Free Firefox Memory Usage Resources

Sometimes Firefox causes problems on my computer by sucking up too much memory. I won’t give up on Firefox easily, so I set to work on how to improve its memory. Over time, I’ve done things here and there to improve its memory usage — but thought it was time to put together a few resources.
As wonderful as extensions are, they can become a memory hog. As a compromise, I looked up my extensions for problematic extensions and made changes. I also do an occasional extension check up to see if I make use of them all. If I rarely use an extension, then it goes bye bye. It’s not worth the memory if I don’t use it enough.
The following resources do a nice job of explaining what to do and offering plenty of options to improve Firefox’s handling of memory:
Excellent forum post on how to improve Firefox’s memory usage.
MozillaZine’s article on Reducing Memory Usage in Firefox offers plenty of tips.
MozDev.org provides a memory usage FQA (frequently questioned answers — appropriate!)
Standard Diagnostic helps troubleshoots Firefox problems — not just memory.
