Firemin Alternatives
Firemin is described as 'small utility to reduce the amount of memory Firefox or other browsers use.

There are five alternatives to Firemin for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Firefox and Google Chrome. The best alternative is UnloadTab, which is both free and Open Source.
