[Bug 247340] [NEW] overwhelming disk activity after Firefox 3.0 and Ubuntu 8.04 update

[dcshoe]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

After the most recent Ubuntu Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released
April 2008, and Firefox 3.0 updates to a fully satisfactory system, I
have 60-120 seconds of disk activity as I surf the web. During the
activity, Firefox is frozen. Neither the system logs nor the process
table show anything unusual. The disk action occurs only during Firefox
access to the Internet.

Many thanks.

V/R,

DC
