Fix Firefox Memory Leak

To use this trick, you should add the new integer with following values:

browser.cache.memory.capacity

Value for this integer is dedicated from how much do you want Firefox to allocate on your computer. Of course, this depends on how much RAM your computer has. Generally, this value shouldn’t be less than 8 Mb.

If you want to set it to 16 Mb type 16384 as value and if you want 32 Mb for allocation, type in 32768.

Enable the Spellchecker

By the default, Firefox spellchecker ability can work only with the textareas. Use this trick to enable it for the inputfields too. Can be very useful for some users.

Change layout.spellcheck value to 2
