1TO INSTALL
2==========
3
4Type this command to install:
5
6 make install
7
8TO RUN FIREFOX
9==============
10
11Then you can use the two commands:
12
13 firestart - start Firefox in a CGroup sandbox (best performance)
14 firestartx - start Firefox in a CGroup and X server sandbox (recommended)
15
16Within the `firefox` systemd service, a background service called `ioslay` will
17be started by `ioslay-mgr.sh`.
18
19The launching of Firefox through either of these commands launches a watchdog
20process that kills Firefox processes when they are spinning the disk.
21
22FIRESTART AND FIRESTARTX
23========================
24
25firestart <firefox arguments>
26
27 This command starts Firefox in a CGroup sandbox with at most half of system
28 memory available. It monitors IO usage and kills web browser tab processes
29 when IO is saturated.
30
31firestartx <firefox arguments>
32
33 This runs `firestart` with $DISPLAY set to a virtual X11 screen that runs in a
34 window. This prevents Firefox from popping anything up outside of its window
35 and prevents Firefox from locking up the X server input.
