Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Every now and then, once per session (as in, once per boot), when I'm using Firefox 3.0 it'll slow way down while the hard drive gets heavy usage for about 10 seconds or so and then it'll stop and everything will return to normal. This doesn't happen with Firefox 2. This used to happen with the Firefox 3 Beta which is why at the time I used Firefox 2 instead of the Firefox 3 Beta, and even though it's not in beta anymore, it's still happening now.
