Config.trim on minimize
Background
On Windows operating systems, when a program is minimized and left for a period of time, Windows will reclaim the memory the program used in anticipation that other programs might need it. Because of the way Mozilla applications are stored in memory, Windows is much more aggressive in reclaiming the memory they use, which can cause a delay when the program is restored. This preference determines whether to allow Windows to reclaim memory from a minimized Mozilla application.
Possible values and their effects
true
Allow Windows to reclaim memory when the program is minimized.
false
Prevent Windows from reclaiming memory when the program is minimized. (Default)
Caveats
This preference does not exist by default.
Recommended settings
If you're experiencing problems with the application consuming too much memory, you can try setting this preference to true. If you're not experiencing any problems, it should be left at false to maintain application responsiveness.
