Optimize Firefox startup times

Tom in IT - Sun, 10.01.2010 - 11:28
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 echo sqlite3 \{\} VACUUM \;

  • Reindex your Firefox DBs:
    find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name "*.sqlite" -exec echo sqlite3 \{\} REINDEX \;
