So I'm working to improve stability of some software. Suddenly my disk light starts working hard I can hear it, from years of experience I know it's not "cron running find". I check my ps list and the only possibility is firefox (which I set to NOT auto update, only has a few pages open and i'm in a tty X is not the active terminal (freebsd and github pages btw). I KILLED firefox, the light went off immediately. It had been running hard for probably 30 seconds or longer I did not react to it quickly. I can also note I have few book marks and kill the cache completely on exit there is no cache to speak of.
Is this kind of "penetration" by firefox normal in freebsd today? I know for sure firefox does "not activate the disk light hard for 30 seconds" ever for any reason.
Perhaps I am just unlucky and got targeted by an angry hacker. This was yesterday it happened btw.
