I didn't know that was possible. Was that a built-in feature for VWs, or did you modify your bumpers yourself? This is a "neat" idea!

Submission + - Notes on Reducing Firefox's Memory Consumption (mozilla.com)

Submitted by Skuto on Tuesday January 17, 2012 @09:09AM

Skuto writes: At yesterdays linux.conf.au Browser miniconference in Ballarat, Australia, Mozilla engineer Nicholas Nethercote gave a detailed presentation about the history of Firefox's memory consumption. The 37 slides-with-notes explain in gritty detail what caused Firefox 4's memory usage to be higher than expected, how many leaks and accidental memory use bugs were tracked down with Valgrind plugins, as well as the pitfalls of common memory allocation strategies. Current work is now focused on reducing the memory usage of popular add-ons such as AdBlock, GreaseMonkey and Firebug.
Required reading for people working on large software projects, or those who missed that Firefox is now one of the most memory-efficient browsers in heavy usage.
