I would recommend against using swap except in situations where you
really need it and just not keep many applications open at the same
(number depends on what applications, browser content alone can easily
eat all memory if you visit sites with lots of Flash and Javascript).
Swap can make the device sluggish also.

You could also modify browser settings from:
- /usr/lib/microb-engine/greprefs/all.js
("about:config" in browser not working for max_entries is a bug
in upstream Mozilla)
The interesting settings are these, especially the latter one:
- browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers
- browser.sessionhistory.max_entries
Browser session history can take *a lot* of memory, you could make
it smaller. It's size is a compromise between faster browsing and fast
"back" functionality.
