Hi,

I've just installed Firefox on my android phone.  But it is taking huge amount of memory. And I have even not synced my bookmarks.

Below I've attached screen shots of Firefox taking huge memory and also information about my device.

Please check about it and reply me soon.

Thanks & Regards, Dhruva Bedre

There are no screenshots attached. If you are talking about the install size, Firefox takes up less space than Chrome. Rendering the full feature set of the web takes a lot of code.

Try installing this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/freememory/?src=search

It should help a little bit with the memory issues in FF. I also recommend in the addon's options to set a timer for automatic "cleanup".

It won't do much, but I hope it does something!
