If you don't find anything then this is a bunch of preferences that
people claim that you can tweak to improve performance. (Fasterfox does
other stuff as well as setting preferences, so your results won't be the
same as installing the addon.) Some of them are available in the
Preferences window but for most of them you'll need to resort to
about:config to change:

browser.cache.disk.capacity
browser.cache.disk.enable
browser.cache.memory.capacity
browser.cache.memory.enable
browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers
content.interrupt.parsing
content.max.tokenizing.time
content.notify.backoffcount
content.notify.interval
content.notify.ontimer
content.switch.threshold
network.dnsCacheEntries
network.dnsCacheExpiration
network.http.max-connections
network.http.max-connections-per-server
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy
network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Do tweaking those really help? My issue is memory leaks (over 2 GB!),
freezes, Flash crashing, etc. I am a heavy user with over 100 tabs. :D

In that case may I suggest only restoring tabs when you need them (under
Preferences, Browser).

Any ideas what some of these values should be? Maybe a minimum and a
maximum value.

Thank you, Danny

Um, isn't that only for exiting and restarting the web browser? I hate
having to lose my form datas hence why I keep tabs.

It is for when the browser restarts. I take it you don't quit the browser.

You can also set.

Preferences > Browser > History > Form and Search History.

Check "Enable form and search history". Then set "Remember form and
search history for up to as many days as you want. Mine is set at 180 days.

I think you could safely quit the browser, restart with that set, and
with Neil's suggestion.

If you want to make the effort, apply the thing to Firefox (preferably
on a virgin profile) and then look at the values. Then make the same
changes to Seamonkey.

That is correct.

Is there a way to prevent it from memorizing my login forms, search
forms, etc.?
