Recently I noticed an increased amount of disk activity, specifically relatively large writes every minute. iotop suggests the culprit is 'firefox [DOM Worker]', writing several MBs at a time. If I disable ABP, these writes stop. When I re-enable ABP, the writes resume again. Could there be something in the ABP 3.0 update causing this? If so, is it related to a feature that we could disable in settings?
Firefox 56.0
Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
Frequent large disk writes since 3.0
Re: Frequent large disk writes since 3.0
FF 56 is buggy with the new extensions system, few bugs were corrected in FF 57, you could give a try to FF 57

However, you should report this type of issues directly in this thread:
