Q: How do I reduce RAM usage?
A: In about:config, reduce dom.ipc.processCount value. See Feodor2#6.
Q: In Windows XP, I get bluescreen with Mypal.

Bug hunting and reporting

Please include this info into report:

Windows version (and whether it is running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows).
Processor and amount of RAM.
Any specific configurations made to the browser.
What website(s) and/or content type were attempted to be viewed if applicable.
Whether you are running a pre-compiled binary, or a self-compiled binary (if the latter, the git revision would be especially handy).

Also:

In case of bluescreen:
- Do not post screenshot of bsod, as it isn't useful for troubleshooting.
- Use http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html and post on the attachment data report as shown in the example below.
In case of simple crash:
- Please post Dr. Watson debug log. -TODO: instructions-
- Do not post irrelevant logs.
