The issue is the same on Windows version of Firefox 3b5 (Firefox Portable). Since I'm using it from an USB drive with an activity led, I've noticed a *permanent* activity and the latest modified file is places.sqlite !
Accessing my USB drive is very slow whenever Firefox Portable is running, and sometimes it even render Firefox unresponsive since it tries to access another file on the sync-flooded drive.... I fear for the safety of my USB drive, and it's become difficult to use Firefox... I know it's ubuntu's BTS, but I wanted to post this comment to tell you it's a Firefox bug, on every platform, not only linux ;) -- 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
