I can confirm all of the above, especially the hammering of the hard disk and firefox being on top of top, after upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy on Kubuntu.
My packages are: dpkg -l firefox xulrunner ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii firefox 3.0~b5+nobinon meta package for the popular mozilla web bro un xulrunner <none> (no description available) with several firefox add-ons. My urlclassifier?.sqlite file sizes are: 4970496 2008-04-26 23:42 urlclassifier2.sqlite 23249920 2008-04-27 17:01 urlclassifier3.sqlite I have now disabled firefox checking for attack sites and suspected forgery sites in Preferences -> Security. Is there anything else to be done? I fear for my hard disk. The peak I/O activity is so intense that I cannot move mouse focus from one firefox tab to another for two or three minutes. It is worth fixing this problem fast.
