Does Firefox really write a lot of data to the SSD?

Question

Browsers

A couple of months ago, Geek published an article about the fact that Firefox writes a lot of data to the SSD, which is not very good for the disk. https://geektimes.ru/post/280792/
There it is proposed to change browser.sessionstore.interval to 30 minutes instead of 15000 ms, but this is not the best solution either. From the comments to the article, I realized that everything is not so scary, but I would like clarifications (articles on the topic are welcome).
I'm wondering if Firefox really writes a lot of data to disk compared to other browsers (in particular, compared to Safari), how much it harms the SSD (in Macbooks), if so, what can be done about it.

Answer 1

Starting around 2013, all the drop dead stories about damage to SSDs from the fact that they write a lot on them are nothing more than a newsbreak.
Modern operating systems are able to correctly command the SSD controller, modern SSDs have a reserve of banks for wear.
I have been using a 256 SSD in my ultrabook for the third year, moreover, I keep SWAP on it (!), and I compile projects in C ++ 100 times a day.

Answer 2

yellow article.
I've had an SSD for seven years now.
I'm using Firefox.
They lie, escalate, earn points - they don’t write about the case at all.

Answer 3

It's worth Firefox on an SSD (along with a profile) - for almost 5 years now.

Answer 4

Does Firefox really write a lot of data to the SSD?

Few.
For an SSD, these are small things.

Answer 5

No more than other browsers.
Why not just look at his profile and look at the number of files and their size?
Moreover, there are mostly sqlite bases.
The question is incorrectly worded. The disk is used mainly by the cache, it is configured in every normal browser. Turns off completely on request. If the chrome cache is larger than the fox cache, then chrome exchanges more with the disk, and the browsers themselves require mere trifles for their personal needs.
