Okay, I will take this into consideration, making here a proposal for a maybe crude selfmade cookie bleaching cleaner in a draft as a script.....looks a bit crude, maybe someone can give the final touch.
#!/bin/sh
# declare the function of the script, removing places.sqlite will wipe out your bookmarks.
# Make a backup of your bookmarks before using the script or they will be lost.
#
set -e
set -i
set -x
rm -rf /home/name of user/.mozilla/firefox/*default/cookies.sqlite
rm -rf /home/name of user/.mozilla/firefox/*default/webappsstore.sqlite
rm -rf /home/name of user/.mozilla/firefox/*default/formhistory.sqlite
rm -rf /home/name of user/.mozilla/firefox/*default/places.sqlite
rm -rf /home/name of user/.mozilla/firefox/*default/startupCache
rm -rf /home/name of user/.mozilla/firefox/*default/offlineCache/index.sqlite
rm -rf /home/name of user/.mozilla/firefox/*default/directorylinks.json
rm -rf /home/name of user/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
rm -rf /home/name of user/.cache/thumbnails
rm -rf /usr/home/name of user/.local/share/Trash/files
rm -rf /usr/home/name of user/.local/share/Trash/info
exit 0
Name the script and
chmod u + x mybleachbit.sh
ln -s mybleacbit.sh and place it in userland jails /sbin, but I will look up your link anyway.
@jim mcnamara
the very link you hinting at, is maybe close to the newer versions of FF, but, as some very old scripts I used back in time, with success, or failing or still using, I shutdown todays BSD workstation, wiping out, clubbing out that /.local and /.cache files, starting it up this very our and all went the way I expierienced, was that my bookmarks were gone. that was intended, indeed.
Or I put this into into
/etc/rc.shutdown
sending these files to
/dev/null/ 2>&1
in the userland, my jail.
I still wait for some answer to improve my proposal, anyone dares? I am not a pro! Thanks in advance!!!!
Anyway I look at it, what Bleachbit does in my Linux-Distro, it comes close to be an illusion. Looking closely what in cleans up, I have to double my efforts to wipe out some files, that
1st-> there is no need for them at all
2nd-> they pile up to a huge amount of thumbnails.png, these very tiny files with a long alphanumerical name, the size of 12 bytes
3rd-> in both cases, at first, I had installed chromium, that keeps all the stuff to remember as well.
4th-> I am doing all this to keep a little bit under the radar, not to be exposed in all detail.
So this draft above, may radical or not, is simply intended to a installation only containing Firefox on your system. At a first glance you might think, well I use FF, but while you installed (at least BSD 10.2 ongoing) the internet role, there is chromium doing a backup job in the dark. So having it simple, only Firefox, the draft mentioned above comes close to the point. So it may looks a bit radical, but it comes closer to the KISS rule, not to make too complex. I see this as well on an USB-stick, going from one BSD to Linux, there is always a second hidden /.Trash file. In both cases I am obliged to trash the trash, that is hidden. Well played, really. For me this seems to be a kind of surveillance, thats my humble opinion.
5th-> looking it up in a linux distro with systemd and finding something like this, I certainly do not need, nor do developers.
systemd-private-94730452b0264066b98697d490ce5998-rtkit-daemon.service-EHoeHd
. That can be found in the users
/var/tmp
containing nothing at all! So whats the matter with that golden rule of Keep it simple s.....????
I put loads of the /var/tmp files into the bin, they don't make sense at all. And doing so, this very procedure does not hamper at all, the Firefox or the stability of my distro.
