[Bug 227366] [NEW] Firefox 3 heavy hard disk usage

[ceronman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Sometimes Firefox start using the hard disk heavily for a long time,
various minutes. This makes the pc slow and almost usable. I've checked
the memory and I have enough. SWAP is not being used. I thought that
maybe could be the Track's daemon or the updatedb daemon, but I've
checked the disk access with the atop tool, and it indicates that
Firefox is the process which is accessing the hard disk the most.

I've found this forum topic indicating the same problem:
