Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used. While there are some extensions and improvements that have been made with Firefox since some of these tweaks were first posted on the net I have found that they really do speed up Firefox noticeably Opera: Increasing total connections - Type about:config in the address bar
- Enter connections into the search field
- Change the value of Max Connections Total from 20 to any value between 32 to 65
- Do not change the Max Connections per Server
- After you are done with the above just save the settings and restart browser
Name completion and local network machine - Go to Tools> Preferences> Advanced> Network(or click Control and F12 same time)
- Select Server name completion
- Now you have two options within it.
"Look For local network machine"
"Try name completion" - If you uncheck both of the above options, i.e.; Try name completion and Look for local network machine, Opera will stop cycling your CPU, trying to guess what you’re typing in the address bar
- Restart the browser after applying the settings. You’ll see the speed difference
Reduce the amount of visited pages in history - Go to Tools> Preferences> Advanced> History (or click Control and F12 same time)
- Reduce addresses to 100 instead of 500 by default
Opera loading - Go to Tools> Preferences> Advanced> Browsing> (or click Control and F12 same time)
- In the loading window choose "Redraw Instantly"
Tooltips - Go to Tools> Preferences> Advanced> (or click Control and F12 same time)
- Uncheck "Tooltips"
