Hi, Running current version, with uBlock.

Hard drive light is on almost continuously, only goes to normal levels after exiting Firefox, problem returns when Firefox restarted.

Possibly linked to using down-arrow on some websites.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
