How to reduce Firefox memory usage

If you use Fedora Core 5 you can disable Pango support within Firefox, this should reduce a lot the browser memory usage.

To disable it simply put inside your .bash_profile this export string:
export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
Then logoff and login again.

Pango is used only for some particular languages (ie. indian) so if you don’t need to read site with those you’ll not note anything.
