DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Dump Firefox Cache to swap
Does anyone know how to dump the cache of Firefox to swap?
From what I gather the cache is stored in ramdisk; no problem on high-end machines but those with 128-256MB are going to have some serious space problem.
On small memory machines, you could change your cache size. From inside Firefox choose Tools->Options->Privacy->Cache->+ Then change it from 50000 to say 500 If you have the .phoenix directory in your backup then you should be fine.
