I have a small question about how Firefox uses /tmp at startup. I have
been trying to figure out why Firefox would crash randomly, which is
still ongoing.
However, I had created a script (/tmp/firefox) just to play a bit. This
actually caused a slowdown when starting a new instance (1s -> 6s). It
appears Firefox creates a temporary directory (${TMPDIR}/firefox). The
fact that it just exists confuses Firefox for awhile before it shows a
window. Any ideas about that or a way to make it create a unique
directory for its startup to prevent future conflict that confuses
others (or me, after I forget)?
