Sounds like a cron-job, set to run every 5 mins. You won't copy much each time, and you won't lose much if you shut down just before the next sync. Or, you could use Weave to keep your bookmarks and passwords in sync, although it doesn't sync addons.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
it sounds like a job for an init script... on 'start', if there is a<br>
saved mozilla dir, put it into your home dir. On stop, copy the<br>
mozilla dir into persistent storage. It should run before you have<br>
logged in. Wouldn't work well for a server with many users but fine<br>
for a netbook with few.<br>
<br>
I'd probably use tar to save the whole mozilla dir as a single file,<br>
and make ~/.mozilla the mount point for tmpfs thus avoiding any links.<br>
<br>
Is it still advisable to use the sqlite vacuum trick to improve<br>
performance, do you know? If so it might be worth doing it on shutdown<br>
automatically.<br>

- do it from the browser<br>

- command line version for integration with your scripts, maybe<br>
