Without the DOM Inspector addon, Firefox does last longer. However, it still crashes every 15 minutes or so. Moreover, it's a different sort of crash: it just freezes. I am attaching the debug log of one of these crashes. ** Attachment added: "gdb-firefox.log" http://librarian.launchpad.net/

I didn't install any plugins, and "about:plugins" confirms that. As for the addons, uninstalling Firebug and the Developer Toolbar didn't make any difference: Firefox would still crash at the slighest breeze. *However*, after uninstalling the DOM Inspector, Firefox now seems to hang on for a longe

Btw, I did a fresh install of Feisty, so the problem is not related to the upgrade. Also, I did a "rm -rf ~/.mozilla/" to remove the existing profile, just in case. -- Firefox crashes *very* often https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108929 You received this bug notification because you are a member

Concerning mounting flash drives with "sync" as default, in my view this should only be done *until* the underlying problem is corrected. Using "sync" is not really solving the problem, it's just camouflaging it. Bear also in mind that we are talking about a regression here: this worked perfectly

I think I now know what the exact problem is: the device's icon disappears immediately after the user clicks "Safely remove", leading one to believe the device has immediately unmounted and can be safely removed. Obviously, the device is only *really* unmounted after all the changes have been flus

Confirmed here as well. This is actually *quite serious* since it can lead to loss of data. To prevent it, either manually unmount the drive in the console (umount waits till all the data is flushed) or run "sync" to explicitly flush the data. -- "safely remove" isnt safe https://launchpad.net/
