Firefox Memory Leaks

This is not really F1Time. But i think this is useful stuff.

If you have used Firefox you've probably noticed that it suffers from what can be described as a fairly harsh "memory leak". The main cause of the problem appears to lie within the plugin for Flash content. There are 2 workarounds that I've located.

The first is rather straightforward and simple but wasn't practical for me. All you have to do is un-install/remove the flash plugin and performance increases significantly.

The other option (and the one I'm using) requires you to make some changes to the Firefox configuration. This is how you fix this "memory leak" problem. (It's not actually a leak, it just doesn't flush the cache it has.)

1)Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
2)Right click any line to bring up a sub-menu
3)Choose "new">"integer"
4)paste this into the dialogue that appears: browser.cache.memory.capacity
5)Next click Okay
6)Specify the amount in kb (about 60000 should do) in the next dialogue that appears
7)Restart Firefox and happy surfing.

F1Time adds 1500th Manager

When v2 started, it just had the existing managers from v11 which came to around 900+. The new version can accomodate upto 2550 Managers and today it crossed the 1500 mark.
The Game is slowly but steadily building up. When v2 started, every group had around 14 free spaces but now it has come down to half (7). With this kinda signup, i expect the groups to be FULL by the time test races start. Now we have the Practise/WU/Qualify and Race Orders Page finished. And I am hoping the test races to start by the month end.
