Brian :- About your fix :- Creating a new file , didn't really do any disk operation - atleast not immediately - so this means laptop-mode is actually working. Paradoxically , firefox some how does instantaneous write operations- laptop-mode fails to work here. Is there anyway one can bypass laptop-mode ?
