Constantly writing storage.js.tmp overloading HDD

Open ArtemKuchin opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I was wondering what was overwhelming my HDD lately. Finely i opened system monitor and see that firefox constantly writes file C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp

Like 7MB/sec for 5 minutes. Total size, however, is just 48M. WHile it writes storage.js.tmp there is no previous storage.js which seems strange.

Then it makes a pause for a minute. During this pause storage.js is present. And starts writing storage.js.tmp again.

Sometimes i see MANY write thread for this file:

firefox.exe 13648 C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp 25 233 408 0 25 233 408 Обычный 4 firefox.exe 13648 C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp 6 308 352 0 6 308 352 Обычный 6 firefox.exe 13648 C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp 3 882 063 0 3 882 063 Обычный 5 firefox.exe 13648 C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp 3 364 454 0 3 364 454 Обычный 203 firefox.exe 13648 C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp 2 803 712 0 2 803 712 Обычный 3 firefox.exe 13648 C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp 2 461 796 0 2 461 796 Обычный 3 firefox.exe 13648 C:\Users\Artem\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\isey9afv.default-1429996629354\browser-extension-data\[email protected]\storage.js.tmp 2 194 209 0 2 194 209 Обычный 8

This is where your groups are stored on your disk so that you can recover them if you restart your browser. The extension could write a lot but it never stressed my computer so far.

Do you have many groups/tabs ?

11 named groups, 1 unnamed, about 10 tabs in each group It seems like any change in any tab in any group make it totally rewrite storage,js This is no good.
