Bugs,
I can confirm this behavior on karmic amd64 with latest firefox (3.5.7
+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1):
soe...@kellerautomat:~$ strace -p $(pgrep firefox) -e fsync,fdatasync -tT
Process 20808 attached - interrupt to quit
23:21:47 fsync(71) = 0 0.035733
23:21:57 fsync(94)
Marking this as affecting firefox-3.5, as I, too, see this on karmic
with Firefox 3.5. As several people wrote that it affects them, I set it
to confirmed right away.

yeah I know, but this is one big ass regression which shouldn't be too
hard fix considering they do know the fix right?

I can confirm this is still occuring with FF 3.5 in Ubuntu on a Thinkpad
x200s.
Every new location causes FF to write to disk. lm-profiler clearly
shows this. I tried compiling firefox to have:
PRAGMA default_synchronous='0';
after each sqlite3_open() in the code, but I think I screwed
I am still experiencing this problem on my Lenovo Thinkpad X200. When I
am on battery the the disk spins down but every time I open a new page
the disk spins up and writes something to the disk which locks firefox
for 2-3 seconds.
I have started to use Opera when on battery just to avoid it.

I know the AA1 SSD is one of the slowest, but still, FF2 worked well here. With

on, something I never had with FF2.

i made a workaround for myself with a maze of scripts that means the
firefox profile resides entirely in a tmpfs mount, symlinked from my
~/.mozilla/firefox. It works, and i only lose data if i shutdown or
crash between cron-rsyncs of that profile back to the drive, but it's
pretty unsatisfactory
Bump. Bug continues to exist in Intrepid. It's not so much that the
performance is bad, but that with laptop mode on it causes hard drive
spinups on every page hit, which defeats the purpose of laptop mode.

This bug is still evident in 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2
Sample output when browsing around 5-6 pages:
$ strace -p `pidof firefox` -e fsync -tT
Process 17527 attached - interrupt to quit
14:52:10 fsync(37) = 0 0.003523
14:52:10 fsync(33) = 0
I thought Firefox wasn't going to be released with this problem? I'm
pretty much at the point where I've lost all faith in what use to be my
absolute favorite application.
Opera is looking pretty good these days. I guess I'm just going to give
that my attention now, because firefox is unusable
Same here. Fsyncs are still issued upon browsing. Using version 3.0
+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ strace -p `pidof firefox` -e fsync -tT
Process 11272 attached - interrupt to quit
00:06:20 fsync(38) = 0 0.013767
00:06:40 fsync(37) = 0
This bug has not been fixed as per the original bug report. FF3 still
causes sqlite to fsync after every page load which makes suspending
disks impossible. This is tested with FF3 updated to today with
proposed repository enabled.

Moreover, it's not urlclassifier3.sqlite but places.sqlite which is rewritten
too often.
It happens even after a long time since Firefox has been started.
Maybe the whole sqlite system embedded in Firefox3 is doing this ?

Firefox 3.0b5 in hardy issues these fsyncs so often it starts blocking
on them for seconds, becoming completely nonresponsive in the UI with
compiz making the whole window grey). It's not just a power-saving
issue, it's a painful usability problem.

Benjamin, that's a good point. No, it is not laptop-mode only, Firefox
behaves this way all the time, it's just that on AC I don't have disk
power savings enabled, so I didn't look at it from that side.
