The long form is a lot more detailed. I play with profiles all the time. One bit about Profile Manager that gets overlooked is that you can specify *where* the profile is created. I'm not thrilled with Mozilla's default location for profiles under Windows, so I create mine under \Mozilla\Profiles\Firefox\<profile name>. It makes fiddling easier. I have a development profile with Firebug and other tools installed. The standard profile doesn't need them. The current fun is putting Firefox, the profile I'm using, and the cache on a 128MB ramdisk, which speeds things up a treat on the netbook I'm posting from at the moment. The profile directory and firefox itself are stored in zip files in the profile directory. A startup script unzips them to the ramdisk for use. A shutdown script zips them back to the HD, catching any changes.. The desktop runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The netbook runs WinXP Home. I run a current Aurora build on both sides to compare performance. The netbook is relatively limited - 1.6ghx Atom CPU/1.5GB RAM - and part of the exercise is an Aurora config that runs decently on the limited hardware. Among other things, Aurora seems to be a lot more memory efficient on Linux. (I can't imagine 60 open tabs on the netbook: I'd grow old and grey waiting for them all to load, and RAM requirements would balloon. It might work on the desktop, but nothing I normally do requires that many tabs to be open at once.) > Sebastian ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
