Firefox
about:buildconfig Obviously, it will show the build platform configuration and parameters
about:cache Will display info and statistics regarding your disk’s cache, including the name of your cache’s directory and a list of the entries you can find there. By default, Firefox doesn’t allow you to view the cached webpages, so this can be an useful option.
about:config Oh look, many many info. Indeed, it’s the most complex and meaningful of them all. Careful on what you plan to change here, your browser won’t run properly after if you play with the wrong things.
about:plugins Of course, what is Firefox without it’s powerful extensions? This option will display detailed information about all the plugins installed for Mozilla Firefox.
about:credits It’s time to give the credit to whoever deserves it. There’s an alphabetically sorted list of all the people that gave their contribution to the development of Firefox.
about:Mozilla This is a weird thing. It will display the so-called “Book of Mozilla”. Something similar was present in Netscape too. There’s actually no real book although the quotations might give you that impression.

Incognito mode in Google Chrome
http://www.google.com/goodtoknow/manage-data/incognito-mode/
Anonymity when browsing the Web can be important for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you are concerned that your sensitive data may be left behind in temporary files such as cookies, or maybe you just do not want anyone to know where you have been.
No matter what your motive for privacy might be, Chrome's Incognito Mode may be just what you are looking for. While browsing in Incognito Mode, cookies and other files are not saved on your hard drive. Even better, your entire browsing and search history is automatically wiped out.
Incognito Mode can be activated in just a few easy steps. This tutorial shows you how it is done.
First, open your Google Chrome browser.
Click on the Chrome "wrench" icon, located in the upper right hand corner of your browser window. When the drop-down menu appears, select the choice labeled New incognito window.
Please note that you can use the following keyboard shortcut in lieu of selecting the aforementioned menu item: CTRL+SHIFT+N
You have now gone incognito! As you can see in the screen shot above, a status message as well as a brief explanation is given within the main portion of Chrome's browser window. You will also notice that the upper portion of the window is now a shade darker, with the Incognito Mode logo displayed in the upper left hand corner.
When Incognito Mode is activated for a particular Chrome tab or window, a logo of a shady character in an overcoat and hat is displayed in the upper left hand corner of your browser window. While this logo is displayed, all history and temporary Internet files will not be recorded or stored.
It should be noted that newly created Bookmarks as well as downloaded files are always saved, even in Incognito Mode.

Also you can use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Esc to quickly open the Google Chrome Task Manager.
For each active item in Google Chrome, you can monitor the amount of memory it takes up, the amount of CPU used by it, and the network activity (bytes sent and received).
