Source Optimize SQLite Databases In Firefox

The Mozilla Firefox development team has changed the way the web browser is storing information to SQLite databases in Firefox 3. Cookies, Bookmarks, RSS feeds and many other information are now stored in SQLite databases that are stored in the Firefox profile. A problem that can arise is that the databases can get fragmented over time which inflates their size and has the consequence that the performance drops especially in the time the web browser is loading but also when information are pulled from the databases.
It is possible to optimized SQLite databases which defragments them so that their size decreases and performance is gained. The website Web Upd8 explains how to optimize the SQLite databases of Firefox running under Windows, Linux or Mac OS. Windows users for example need to download a batch file and place them into the Firefox profile that they want to optimize.
