Problem

Firefox taking up the whole screen problem

Solution

What you need to do is for a temporary fix is press “F11″ twice

Permanent fix

Go into the Compiz Settings Manager and find “Windows Decorations” add the following line to “Decoration Windows”

(any) | class=Firefox

Once you’ve done that close out CCSM, then open CCSM back up again, then change that to:

any

Then that should solve the problem, it worked flawlessly. If that doesn’t work you can always revert back to metacity

metacity –replace

I was trying to find a way to set up a ramdisk and have firefox store the cache there.

Step 1: Make a place to mount the ramdisk. In the terminal type:

sudo mkdir /media/ramdisk

Where /media/ramdisk is where you will mount the ramdisk.

Step 2: Mount the ramdisk

sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=64M,nr_inodes=10k,mode=0777 tmpfs /media/ramdisk

We set the permisions to 777 which allows anybody and everybody to access it. Set these as you wish

Step 3 In firefox: Set the cache location to you new ramdisk

Basically type

about:config

in the URL address bar. Search for

browser.cache.disk.parent_directory

or add a new string by right clicking and choosing new. Then set the location to your ramdisk. In my case I set it to

/media/ramdisk/

Optional:

Step 4: If you wish to automount the ramdisk you need to edit your FSTAB file

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

Add the line

tmpfs /media/ramdisk tmpfs size=64M,nr_inodes=10k,mode=777 0 0

Everything should be all set. You can check the ramdisk to see if a folder ‘Cache’ is created when you load firefox. Don’t forget to close firefox or restart firefox before you set this up.
