Preloading firefox at boot time

Hi,

Is it possible to inject firefox into the memory at boot time like how puppyloads everything on ram but I only want FF loaded on ram? Or preload just firefox somehow. Since it's getting really annoying how slow it is at cold start. I was thinking about switching to opera but I'm worried it's less secure.

Try this:

Code:

# mount -t ramfs firefox /mnt/mem

# cp -a /usr/lib/firefox-*/* /mnt/mem

# mount --bind /mnt/mem /usr/lib/firefox-*

# umount /mnt/mem

You may do the same to your "~/.mozilla" directory.

Opera isn't less secure.
But you can put any program in a start-up script if you want.
When you are on KDE just do this:

Code:

cd ~/.kde/Autostart



ln -s /usr/bin/firefox firefox
