MemChaser is a handy Firefox add-on that enables you to follow the memory usage and garbage/cycle collector activities of Firefox directly in the add-on bar.
There is no need to poll 'about:memory' or scrape GC/CC messages in the Error Console. You experience strange behavior?
Then enable the logging and all activities will get written to a log file inside the memchaser sub folder of your Firefox profile.
In the following you will find the description of elements from left to right:
· Resident: Memory mapped by the process that is present in physical memory. It is equivalent to "Working Set (Memory)" in Windows 7 Task Manager, "Memory Usage" in WinXP Task Manager, and "Real Mem" in OS X Activity Monitor.
· GC: Duration of the last Garbage Collector activity and in brackets the time when the second last activity happened.
· CC: Duration of the last Cycle Collector activity and in brackets the time when the second last activity happened.
· Logging: Starts and stops the internal logger, which writes out the current memory usage and GC/CC activities to a log file, which can be found in the memchaser sub directory of your Firefox profile.
MemChaser is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
