Ryan on CyberNet news has a good post on reducing your memory usage in Firefox that explains which extensions have memory leaks and which will slow down Firefox’s performance.

Let me list a few of the extensions that cause these problems.

• IE Tab (memory leak)
• Session Saver (memory leak)
• ForecastFox (memory leak)
• Filterset.G Updater AND FlashGot used in conjunction will produce a memory leak
• FasterFox doesn’t have a memory leak specifically, but it will not help your Firefox performance.
• Tabbrowser (slows Firefox)
• FoxyTunes (memory leak)

Are you using any of these extensions?
