Firefox home profile (fhp)
|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maintains firefox home profile '$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/abcd1234.default' on Unix
|
||
|
|
systems in a tmpfs or zram backed filesystem to get a very responsive browser,
|
||
|
|
with a tarball back up saved in '$HOME/.mozilla/firefox'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using a compressor like lz4 or lzo(p) make compression/decompression seamless,
|
||
|
|
so no need to remove the autoload of the function. Although, it can be commented
|
||
|
|
out to have a empty profile to start with, a 'fhp' command at the prompt will
|
||
|
|
decompress the tarball instantenously with lz4/lzo(p).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Settings
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module can guess a profile to maintain by looking at the previous directory,
|
||
|
|
by looking at the previous directory, however a user can set the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zstyle ':prezto:module:firefox-profile' profile 'abcd1234'
|
||
|
|
zstyle ':prezto:module:firefox-profile' compressor 'lzop -1'
|
||
|
|
zstyle ':prezto:module:firefox-profile' zsh-hook 'yes'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The second setting select a compressor to be used instead of default is 'lz4 -1'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The last setting add fhp function to zsh-exit-hook, so the profile will be saved
|
||
|
|
or archived to be more precise before the shell exit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Optimizations
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just make sure to have at least '/tmp' or your system TMPDIR in a tmpfs for the
|
||
|
|
least to get any benefice of this script with something like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/etc/fstab: tmp /tmp tmpfs mode=1777,size=256M,noatime 0 0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will ensure very low latency when browsing the intertubes and removing the
|
||
|
|
profile in the fly *really* remove any trace of your browsing history because
|
||
|
|
everything is memory because firing up a 'fhp' command.
|
||

### Zram baccked File System
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aleternatively, one can pass a root directory in zram backed filesystem:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zstyle ':prezto:module:firefox-profile' zramdir 'directory'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Auto-saving/Auto-start profile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course, one can save a profile at regular time interval using a cron job or
|
||
|
|
something similar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A profile can be auto-started by setting:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
zstyle ':prezto:module:firefox-profile' start-profile 'yes'
|
||
|
