I dual-boot Win7 Pro and Ubuntu. This is on the Win7 side.
While you
can create a ramdisk on Linux, I haven't.
And while Windows has Task Scheduler, that's not what I use. Win7 Pro includes Group Policy Editor, and GPO can define things that run on boot and on shutdown. A GPO script loads the ramdisk on boot, and another stores the contents back to zip files on shutdown.
The latter is the critical bit. I don't know of a way to set something up in Task Scheduler that happens on shutdown/reboot.

You could also start Firefox using a batch script that opens and saves the archive as soon as Firefox starts and closes. Then you won't even need a startup or shutdown script. (Or are you doing this already? I am assuming the startup and shutdown scripts run when starting and stopping the computer.)

Correct. My scripts load the ramdisk on boot, and store back to zip files on shutdown.
And I probably could use a batch file wrapper, but it would be complicated by the fact that the same technique is applied to SeaMonkey and Thunderbird, and there are several versions of Firefox - release, developer edition, and nightly.
(Not impossible, though. I've done similar things with variables to specify targets. Hmmm...)
