A few points about moving the Firefox browser cache to RAM using the browser property, browser.cache.disk.parent_directory. Mozilla Firefox cache size is determined by the property browser.cache.disk.capacity. Should this also be adjusted so that Firefox does not hog the entire RAM or significant portion of the RAM? I ask this because Firefox will not know that the directory that we have pointed to for the property browser.cache.disk.parent_directory is not a disk filesystem but rather RAM.
Does setting the setting browser.cache.disk.enable to false help? Setting this to false should force firefox to use RAM only?
What happens during a upgrade?, i.e. when firefox version is updated from 125 to 16 to 127? Do these settings disappear and have to be re-enabled all over again?
And finally would it be possible to do this for Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Vivaldi/Falkon browsers? I do not relish the prospect of having another service running on the computer.
