I can confirm this is still occuring with FF 3.5 in Ubuntu on a Thinkpad x200s.
Every new location causes FF to write to disk. lm-profiler clearly shows this. I tried compiling firefox to have: PRAGMA default_synchronous='0'; after each sqlite3_open() in the code, but I think I screwed something up. I ended up just putting my profile on a tmpfs which solves the problem (but this is not a fix). I think setting the default_synchronous to zero would solve the problem, though. I'm not sure what additional issues this would cause, but losing my places.sql because my machine crashes is definitely not a concern -- losing my hard disk (and all my data on it) because it's spinning up and down too quickly is :) -- Firefox keeps forcing disk to spin up when browsing because its sqlite storage calls fsync() for every recorded entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
