Optimize Firefox startup times

Posted by Tom on
I did some research on my prolonged firefox startup time and alas I found something cool: Vacuum your Firefox databases Basically you have to do the following:
  • Install sqlite3: 
    sudo apt-get install sqlite3
  • Vacuum your Firefox DBs: 
    find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name "*.sqlite" -exec sqlite3 \{\} VACUUM \;
  • Reindex your Firefox DBs: 
    find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name "*.sqlite" -exec sqlite3 \{\} REINDEX \;
