Firefox/Profile on RAM - ArchWiki

Might be late to the party, but I just discovered you can do this. Super simple and easy to do.

After having a read of the linked page, I backed up and just used this option:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon

Installed, created config, and enabled service:

systemctl --user enable psd.service systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

I definitely notice an increase in speed and less SSD usage should hopefully increase lifespan.

I’m sure there would be options for alternative distros, anything using Systemd should be able to use the daemon.

    thanks for reminding me. Didn’t activate this on my new install since I got 64G of RAM :)

    systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

    I think this is not needed since psd.service has the following in it:
