Considering mount is typically root-only, I'd say probably not...that would cause problems for users who cannot access the root account. My guess is that it just doesn't cache anything, or it redirects the cache to ram in some other way.

That's what i mean, it's set to use memory only, so that's ram right? I skip any disk access and all the browser stuff goes straight to memory, just like running in ram? Does that make since?

I'm not familiar with FireFox extensions... But I think that Faterfox reserves some extra RAM for FireFox and does the same what Opera can do. (Opera has memory cache and disk cache.)

what, you don't use fasterfox? you have really got to try it then. you can control all the cache memory for the browser, set the amount and even the cache for dns(howmuch and howlong) on top of that you can set the number of connections,pipelining,rendering and the number of pages to keep in ram. but the best feature is i can see how long it takes the page to load, 0.650s for this page here. -> http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/screenshots.html
