Thanks muchly. Very useful info.You could alter the profiles.ini file in the home folder of firefox to point to wherever you like so avoiding symlinks and then just copy and paste.
eg
IsRelative=1
Path=preset.default
change to 0 an then put in whatever path you want and move the folder to there.
Otherwise the command is
ln -s /path/to/source/folder /path/to/symlink
soo you have first parameter as new home and second as original mozilla profile.
Question: ln --help says "Create hard links by default, symbolic links with --symbolic." Now, what is the real difference? Can you explain?
Is that why around 450Mb of my RAM is in use right after booting with no apps running?My oddball pups load entirely to ram including save
Yes, Firefox 38 wasn't meant to run in my system, I don't think. I was not happy when the builtin FF26 updated automatically to v.38.If you want the latest and greatest you get the fattest and largest profiles
That's why I installed flashplayer-10, hoping it would take up less space than v.11.plus flash may be steaming to ram with the later versions depending on the cache config.
1Gb. Soon to increase to 2Gb.I lost track of how much ram you have
Really. I didn't know that. I wonder how it works.though any swap space would add to the save space.
I presently have a 1Gb Linux-swap partition on the pendrive. It hasn't increased the OS speed, but at least it doesn't freeze up any more when I get to full RAM.
How the heck does the savefile split itself between RAM and swap?with a 512MB machine I have 512MB swap which gives a total of around 750MB working save space.
Uh-oh. That's a serious problem. I'm getting notifications again. I wonder what went wrong for you.In spite of a comment about my mentioning this I am getting no notifications since the server change so may not reply so promptly.
