Is there a add-on or something to store my about:config settings in cloud so when i distrohop i dont have to set it manually?
Interesting, yes. By which you mean fiddling with /etc/fstab to mount a tmpfs partition and pointing the cache directory at that ? Any pros and cons you know about?
Anyway, after a bit of browsing I really cannot detect any performance difference since disabling caching. So seems a good deal so far. I wish Firefox had a simple on-off switch instead of needing a bunch of config tweaks to do this.

on linux, yes
Any pros and cons you know about?
- those who already have a ramdisk it might be pretty easy to use it and just change one preference
- the ramdisk will remain until reboot so you can close your browser and you still retain the cache (might be useful depending on peoples workflow and sites they visit)

Done. 24 hours ago but still awaiting moderation! I didn’t know about this forum. Unfortunately they are obviously snowed under by feature requests, many of them unmerged duplicates. So not expecting much, alas.
