I'd just like to add that I have seen the problem despite reinstalls with
Debian stable minor versions. Thanks!
I'm mounting and unmounting through the stick icon's menu on Xfce desktop.
Maybe a fancy file chooser dialogue stays around analyzing the directory,
as you suspect? But I'm worried my Gmail in Firefox is capable of stealing
files off my USB stick.
What could be the deal, when Firefox tries to stop me from unmounting a
stick, after I've accessed files on it through Firefox? I worry about my
stick security. Thanks.
Yes, closing Firefox does allow the stick to unmount cleanly, but I still
worry.
I filed bug report 1068122. I feel fine, despite my concern over my data.
Heartfelt thanks for all the advice!
