Because when the computer is unresponsive and I run

top

the first listed process is firefox.

If I then go to ~/.mozilla/firefox/<something> and do

ls -altr

I see the file

places.sqlite

as the last listed and it changes in size as I view it progressively by
repeating the command. If there is a more sophisticated and foolproof way to
confirm this, perhaps by running some other commands, do let me know and I will
try it and post results.

Thanks.
