Our teachers and Skolelinux support teams liked it, too, since it is non-intrusive to iceweasels normal way of operation, iceweasel just uses a different directory (which is on the ramdisk in our scenario) for frequent writes. There are two disadvantages, though: 1. In case the user configures a HUGE disk cache, lots of data are copied forward and back, so a problem may occur when many users quit their firefox at once (i.e. at the end of the lesson). Solution: Combine with the "small/no disk cache" approach. 2. In case the user logs out or kills his/her session without quitting firefox, changes to bookmarks from this session are lost. Well... This may happen without the script, too (kill -9). The script should detect stale symlinks, and remove them automatically in case there is a leftover $HOME/.mozilla from the previous session.
