    • Can you give more information about your setup/system and firefox installation/version? ESR? Flatpak? DEB?
    • Can you give any steps for others to reproduce/compare your issue?

    A first good ideas is always to create a second seperate profile (for example via about:profiles) and see if your issue can be reproduced with a fresh one without any modifications. The result will give a solid hint if your problem is profile or browser/system related.

    At the current time this seems kind of untrue. There are many GUI Applications in the repos, which provide alternatives or are wrappers for existing CLI applications. - Perfect for people who dont yet feel comfortable working with programms purely in a terminal.


  • By which you mean fiddling with /etc/fstab to mount a tmpfs partition and pointing the cache directory at that?

    on linux, yes

    Any pros and cons you know about?

    1. those who already have a ramdisk it might be pretty easy to use it and just change one preference
    2. the ramdisk will remain until reboot so you can close your browser and you still retain the cache (might be useful depending on peoples workflow and sites they visit)

    I wish Firefox had a simple on-off switch instead of needing a bunch of config tweaks to do this.
