One thing that really bothers me is a balloon tip that appears every time I reconnect to my home WiFi. Simplest solution is to disable balloon tips by using RegEdit. Open up this branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Add this DWORD value: “EnableBalloonTips” and set it’s value to “0” (zero).
Balloon tips will be disabled after your next logon.
In order to minimize writing to disk you could try to move your firefox cache folder into /tmp we created earliner in our RAM.
In your “about:config” add the following entry:
browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
add a string value of “/tmp”.
Ofcourse your cache will be erased each time you reboot, but who cares we are trying to minimize disk usage, so that we can prolong our battery life.
Since I have created 100MB /tmp drive, I have decided to leave firefox cache at the default setting of 50000 (50MB).
browser.cache.disk.capacity (integer) 50000
