Awesome! I’m using eeebuntu on an EEE 1000 and it totally fixed my only problem with my EEE. Thanks again!

Thanks Martyn :) This is good to know since I share my PCs with other family members.

No, ~/.mozilla contains all your personal settings and data. This isn’t shared, each user has their own. So each user would need to have their ~/.mozilla moved to faster storage.

What if you have multiple users? When you do this fix, will Firefox become faster for all of them? I ask this because I don’t quite understand what this ~/.mozilla contains.

Interesting, Tom, thanks for the tip. I’ll have to give it a try!

Try coupling this with the X optimisation mentioned here http://thatsbibulous.blogspot.com/2008/10/slow-scrolling-in-firefox-3-ubuntu.html for even better ff3 performance.

To reverse it, we have to find out what went wrong. Did you see any error messages on any of the steps?

What’s the output of the command

ls -ld ~/.mozilla

and also

ls -l /usr/share/my_stuff

and finally, if you run firefox from the command prompt by simply typing firefox, what error messages (if any) get displayed before it fails to run.

I’ve typed in exactly as above to terminal – firefox now does not load. How do I reverse that process please, so I can use my Eee for browsing again?
