Open a new tab and type about:config into the address bar.
Right-click anywhere in the lower part of the screen and choose new->integer.
Name the new setting ‘toolkit.storage.synchronous’
In the second popup, set the value to 0 (zero). This tells the browser not to wait while writing files.
Create a new string called ‘browser.cache.disk.parent_directory’
Set its value to ‘/dev/shm/firefox-yourusername’. This tells the browser to use a RAM disk instead of the SSD.

I used the internet cache tweaks on an eee pc 900 with 2G RAM, a 4G SSD, and /home set up on the 8G SDHC card. I’m running Mint 7. This WORKED for me! The hangs prior to tweaking were unbearable. No more hangs after the tweaks! THANKS
