profile problem in firefox


i want to make .phoenix folder in ramdisk so i quess it would speed up forefox a bit.
so i :
mkdir /home/jeff/ramfs
and at /etc/rc.d/rc.local I put:
/sbin/mkfs -t ext3 /dev/ram0
mount /dev/ram0 /home/jeff/ramfs

tar -C /home/jeff/.phoenix -c . | tar -C /home/jeff/ramfs -x

but i don't know where should i create profile in. if i create profiles in /home/jeff/.phoenix , firefox will always go there instead of go to ramfs which is set up as ramdisk, there would be no performance boost. if i create them in ramfs the reboot clears everything there the next time, and even if i copied profile info from .phoenix to ramfs and fox still will ask me for profile since it thinks the same profile name is for different user.
thanks

When it asks you for your profile just check the box that says "dont ask me at startup". No need for a .phoenix directory (the info you were using sounds a bit outdated as that was firefox's old old name)
