Firefox's profile dir
Hi, I need to optimize firefox execution getting somes files out of disk to ram and come back to disk to retaing data. In linux firefox use the folder $HOME/.mozilla/firefox to store all available profiles. I use this script to make it possible.
FF_BIN=/opt/32/firefox/firefox PROFILE_NAME=$USER # Launch firefox with profile in ramfs, wait and update modified files to backup RAMFS=/ramfs PROFILE_ROOT=$HOME/.mozilla/firefox #firefox root directory PROFILE_FILE=$PROFILE_ROOT/profiles.ini #check preconditions [ ! -e $PROFILE_FILE ] && echo "error: not file $PROFILE_FILE " >> /opt/bin.log && exit #read all section when name is present hold. for next keys use name.key = value while IFS="\=" read -r key val ; do [ -z $val ] && continue # eval -zero string if true eval continue, the result is not use if [ $key == "Name" ] ; then PREFIX=$val continue fi [ -z $PREFIX ] && continue export "${PREFIX}_$key=$val" #make visible out of while do not use dot because it is not valid for variable name done < $PROFILE_FILE # copy to ramfs only one time, remain until next reboot, get backup on every exit eval PROFILE_DIR=\$\{${PROFILE_NAME}_Path\} eval PROFILE_PATH=$PROFILE_ROOT/\$\{${PROFILE_NAME}_Path\} [ -z $PROFILE_DIR ] && echo "error: profile $PROFILE_NAME not found in $PROFILE_FILE " >> /opt/bin.log && exit [ ! -d ${PROFILE_PATH}.backup ] && echo "error: directory ${PROFILE_PATH}.backup not found " >> /opt/bin.log && exit RAMFS_PROFILE_PATH=${RAMFS}$PROFILE_PATH if [ ! -d $RAMFS_PROFILE_PATH ] ; then mkdir -p $RAMFS_PROFILE_PATH cp -axr ${PROFILE_PATH}.backup/. $RAMFS_PROFILE_PATH ln -sf $RAMFS_PROFILE_PATH $PROFILE_ROOT fi $FF_BIN -p $PROFILE_NAME -no-remote $@ #update modified files if [ ! -z $RAMFS_PROFILE_PATH ] ; then # -E to preserve exection flag. rsync -avqE --delete-after $RAMFS_PROFILE_PATH/. ${PROFILE_PATH}.backup fi exit
