'BFS with no indices in a file' is very nice for Mozilla-development. 
Also it has the nice side-effect of closing all tracker views from 
development on rebooting. To some that might be annoying though.

Here's my cookbook if anyone's interested :)

Make BFS-file (3000 *1024k size):
  #!/bin/sh
  dd if=/dev/zero of=mozdev.bfs bs=1024k count=3000
  mkbfs -noindex 2048 mozdev.bfs Mozilla
  sync


Mount BFS-file:
  #!/bin/sh
  mkdir /mozdev
  mount ~/mozdev.bfs /mozdev
