OpenSUSE :: Firefox 4 B12 No Cache Dir Setting
Mar 19, 2011
I thought about moving the firefox cache directory to /tmp, as I am moving /tmp to the ram, since I just got an SSD, and move off this write-hungry feature.However, with Firefox 4 beta 12 (shipping with 11.4 x86_64), when I get in about:config, there is just no option browser.cache.disk.parent_directory, which you would use to configure this.I searched a bit and it seems that this is still intended to be on Firefox in v.4.I might as well downgrade to 3.x for the moment. I see there is an RC available of v.4, but no package of it ready in repos.By the way, any thoughts on putting the firefox cache on ram? I know it will flush it at reboot! But the alternatives are:
-leave it on ssd (wear it)
-put it on hdd (so slow)
-disable cache

I was laughing about klackenfus's post with the ancient RH install, and then work has me dig up an old server that has been out of use for some time. It has some proprietary binaries installed that intentionally tries to hide files to prevent copying (and we are no longer paying for support or have install binaries), so a clean install is not preferable.
Basically it has been out of commission for so long, that the apt-get upgrade DL is larger than the /var partition (apt caches to /var/cache/apt/archives).
I can upgrade the bigger packages manually until I get under the threshold, but then I learn nothing new. So I'm curious if I can redirect the cache of apt to a specified folder either on the command line or via a config setting?

I'm using Opensuse11.4 and have kmail and Firefox. When I click a url: link in kmail it opens a new tab in Firefox. The problem is that the url is linked to my temp cache files as this file:///var/tmp/kdecache-terry/krun/1589.0.ctt
The tab this opens has most of the link icons stripped out and the links to other parts of the website don't work and I get a "file not found" error and the link is to a file which doesn't exist file:///contribute.php3
This is only a minor annoyance as I can right click > copy the url and paste it to the address bar in Firefox then it works ok. I don't think it anything in either programme that's broken because this happened after an update to Opensuse 11.4 on my previous laptop and has happened again on my new laptop with a fresh install.

dns cache serThis is probably more of a network question but I figured some one who is a network expert might know. Currently my organization has DNS servers. But my questions is would setting up a cache server improve the performance any? When I first thought about it i thought probably not. But since it stores information in ram that made me think maybe it would improve network performance a little.

a few days ago i set my FoxyProxy settings to tor. I needed it to make a few raid boards on 4chan and those can get you banned if you post.
So anyways, i go on this forum about a phone and i accidentally refreshed the page, but i haven't switched from proxy to my default settings and so all of a sudden a message appeared "Sorry, ###### you are banned from this forum."
I tried clearing cache, cookies and whatnot through firefox' options but still i get that message, i installed Midori for a quick test and it seems to work there (I'm not banned) but never on firefox, even rebooted and still nothing.
I really hate the ads with Midori as i use Adblock for firefox.

Firefox has this nasty habit of wanting to write to disk just as it's spinning down when I'm on battery...this is of course annoying because it'll probably shorten the life of the disk (it's doing it as I type this post!)
I figured that a solution to that would be to set FF's cache to be in a RAM disk instead of on the hard disk, so I tried following this guide on the Arch Wiki to set it up (the "Relocating only the cache" section). I followed it to the T, and it did nothing to change FF's disk usage. I even tried adding a /tmp entry in /etc/fstab that would supposedly mount /tmp on a RAM disk and pointed FF's cache to that...still no cigar.
My /etc/fstab:
Code:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
[Code]....
What is it that I'm missing here? Is my fstab incorrect? Is there something else I need to do in FF? I've searched Google and LQ about this issue and couldn't find anything other than the same instructions found on the Arch Wiki and the /tmp fstab entry idea.

I have a weird problem with Firefox with the following scenario: When I view a picture from a website in the browser and the pictures gets deleted from the server (while I'm viewing it) - I can't save the picture to my hard drive. Firefox always tries to download the picture from the web-server although it's in the cache. Resulting in an image file which contains the HTTP 404 response from the server. *lol*

while i realize it's certainly taboo to download a lot of videos videos and similar without permission, and possibly illegal in some countries due to copyright, i have also been reading that the video is clearly buffered in the page casche, so technically is stored on your machine already, but is only stored in ram. how can i save it from my firefox page casche? some mitigating info is that i have poor web speeds, and an old machine, which is not using all of the 1gig of ram for some reason.

i was looking for a way to stop my menus taking a few seconds to load my icons when i first open them and found a few guides suggesting using the gtk-upate-icon-cache command, but with the any colour you like icon theme i'm using (stored in my home folder .icons directory) i kept getting a "gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated cache was invalid." fault i used the inbuilt facility in the acyl script to copy the icons to the usr/share/icons directory and tried the command again, this time using sudo gtk-update-icon-cache --force --ignore-theme-index /usr/share/icons/ACYL_Icon_Theme_0.8.1/ but i still get the same error. i tried with several of the custom icon themes i've installed and only 1 of the first 7 or 8 i tried successfully created the cache.

I'm getting a weird situation where even though I updated an image in a folder for a website in apache, it's still showing the old image. And yes, I checked it in multiple browsers and on diff. computers. (Apache is in a virtualbox OS)
Here's what I've done:
1. Checked it in firefox on the host, cleared cache, reloaded
2. Restarted apache
3. Checked it in konqueror for first time, still showing old version
4. Checked it in the actual file folder and it's correct there
5. Checked it for first time on virtual machine's OS in its firefox, and it shows the wrong/old image

Every time i start Ubuntu, Firefox loads as soon as i log in. I've checked the list of start-up applications and it's not there, the option to automatically remember open applications is unchecked in both startup application settings and Ubuntu tweak. Is there some other place that has this setting or any setting that would cause Firefox to load on boot? Is there a setting in Firefox I'm missing?Basically how do i stop this from happening?

so I'm trying to run an extension for firefox that is no longer handled with firefox 4.0+. I've googled that you can run two different versions of firefox on the same system, but you have to have them set up as two different profiles. Basically having the two different browsers set up in two different locations running there own things from different files, etc.
How can I go about setting up an older version of firefox in a different location, instead of just running the setup in general which would conflict with my newer version?
I know it can be done, but a simple sudo apt-get install firefox (version x.x) will basically override my newer version I would imagine. I've already found where to get the older versions file and everything, I just don't want to mess up my new version
Can someone please help me as to how to install this in another location not affecting my current version? I also understand that I will have to have another command to run this older version, so maybe if you could shed some light on how to set up the new command also,

I have FireFox 4, and JRE 6_25, and G3 (dunnow if that's the problem). As described in the docs, I'm supposed to make a symlink to the plugin. The about : plugins keeps reporting File: libnpjp2.so as file, not the plugin.I just reinstalled 6_21 (the one I know works) and have successfully made a symlink, but FireFox refuses to accept the link.The applets do not have sound - tested with RuneScape and the Bells applet, no sound, but there is the music in RuneScape...

openSUSE 11.3 with GNOME
Whenever I install a new application, that application's icon is broken (shows the generic "application" icon) until I run gtk-update-icon-cache on /usr/share/icons/hicolor. The package manager must not be updating it correctly, but for what reason I'm not sure.

Using Ubuntu 10.10. I cannot set Firefox to open PDFs with evince. Actually I have no idea where it grabs mime info from. I know I could manually choose /usr/bin/evince or something, but isn't there a way to make Firefox simply see what my desktop settings are, or at least offer me the choices?
