If an entry does not exist by default which several of them do not then you will need to create them. To do this right click below the filter window and choose new –>integer or new –>boolean.

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
