How to speedup Firefox by VACUUM’ing FF’s sqlite databases
Posted September 4, 2009 by MrBerry
Firefox easily often gets like Hersheys’s Syrup.
What may help is to cleanup the SQlite3 databases Firefox uses to store _SHIT_
First see that you have sqlite3 installed:
apt-get install sqlite3
Then stop/kill/murder all your firefox procs.
Run the following from a console:
for i in $(find ~/.mozilla -type f -name '*.sqlite' -print);do sqlite3 $i "VACUUM;";done
Most garbage in your firefox databases should now be clean. Fire it up again.
