Yeah, Rico's response was less than helpful. I see the same problem
myself. In fact it is a large reason why I have stopped using my Linux laptop
as my main browsing machine. The problem simply doesn't exist on the Windows
version.
If you're having the same problem I have then it is because Firefox gets
stuck in an endless loop logging some sort of UI state. It is endlessly
writing out the same string to the hard drive. I only found out that is what
it was doing when it had filled up the remaining 13Gb on my drive with logs.
I haven't been able to track down a bug in bugzilla for it but then, haven't
much tried either.
