1. The exact query that shows a scraping problem, such as a scraper outranking the original page.
2. The URL of the original content.

The really needed Firefox Plugin: Memory Fox

My PC has only 2GB of memory, which is only OK for my daily usage.

Attempting to reduce the browser's RAM Memory usage promoting the increase of available RAM memories for other application processes RAM memory requirements. Hopefully, fostering any attempts of Memory Recovery and Retention.

Just install it! It supports Firefox 6 and 7 too!
