question about tmpfs

I looked in the documentation for something about tmpfs and looked around for
some obvious tmpfs source but couldn't find any to figure out how to know
when/if it's doing what it's supposed to. when i ls the dir it's mounted to
i get nothing and this is what df gives me.
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 144108 0 144108 0% /dev/shm

There are some mounting options that i did not use, just let it go to
defaults, and i've got a fair amount of shared memory programs open and i'm
just unable to tell if this is working correctly and if not how to fix it.
If anyone can point me to the right place to look that would be great.
Hopefully this kernel, 2.4.9, will not cause mozilla to start getting
retarded after 5 days of uptime.
