While Firefox is not at fault, it is the most likely to suffer this default configuration problem - which I have not encountered after about 100 installations of Ubuntu over many years.

I am not an expert by any measure, but an opportunity exists to improve the default install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798011 Title: HDD thrashing.
