New question #207704 on AC100_enablement:

>From what one can learn about tuning systems for SSDs (e.g., [1]) (and the flash memory drive in Toshiba AC100 is similar), there is a recommendation to turn off the on-disk cache in the web browser: 

disabling these frequent small writes would

* contribute to saving the drive from wearing out (which is important for the small-sized, built-in drive)
* and also speed up the system (writes are slow, perhaps even choking the system for a while -- http://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/rkXAt47LoEI/a2peYQcegGgJ )

[1]: http://blog.superuser.com/2011/05/10/maximizing-the-lifetime-of-your-ssd/

Now I suggest to collect information on how to disable the on-disk chache in all the browsers in Ubuntu (firefox, chromium, epiphany, midori, rekonq,  etc.), how to save this setting, and how to make it system-wide (so that it is valid for all the users).

(Perhaps, one answer per one browser.)
