    Firefox usage of SSD capacity ?


    I'm about to install Firefox on a new PC with an SSD and wondered if bookmarks or other files should be kept on a storage HDD. Did some searching & found several articles & comments about Firefox's high usage of SSD capacity. Some of the comments are a few years old and I'm not sure if this is still a concern.

    Should I move the Firefox profiles to an HDD storage drive or is this SSD usage not really an issue?

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Disk usage and Firefox

    Every time I tried to resume my laptop from hibernation firefox websites wont load, they just get stuck in that constant loading mode. I was able to find that everytime the taskmanager shows that my disk usage seems to be using 100% of it capacity is the
    same time that firefox is not working. I have tried to disable some start up items but nothing seem to work. Internet explorer does work normally though.

    My laptop is an ASUS republic of gamers, a strix with lot of ram and capacity so I don't know what might be causing the problem.
