Yes, I'm aware of that, but that doesn't explain why moving my entire
~/.mozilla/firefox directory out of the way and then moving it back without
changing anything would make the performance problems go away.
We're not talking about transient issues either. It isn't at all likely that
it was just a coincidence that the problems went away that particular time I
restarted Firefox. As far as I could tell I was seeing them every single
time I used Firefox, no matter what pages I was viewing, for well over a
week, and then they instantly went away when I moved the diretories around
and put them back.
As unlikely as I think it is, I have to assume that Firefox is keeping some
state somewhere other than in ~/.mozilla/firefox, and moving that directory
out of the way temporarily caused that other state, in whatever other
location it is, to get cleaned up. That theory does seem far-fetched, but I
can't think of a better one.
