[Bug 221009] Re: Firefox keeps forcing disk to spin up when browsing because its sqlite storage calls fsync() for every recorded entry

[L]

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 ;)
