I'd guess that it's related to polling for repo differences.

No idea.

I think for this it's something of a heavy hammer, but you could try
fatrace to see what's doing what, e.g.

firefox(43214): W
/mnt/home/chris/.mozilla/firefox/sfgorfus.default-release/storage/default/moz-extension+++cbf54e9c-1792-49aa-8511-5756bf926071^userContextId=4294967295/idb/3647222921wleabcEoxlt-eengsairo.sqlite-wal

Process name and PID, write, path to file. You might want to cd /pub
and run this with --current-mount option. Do that in a tmux pane and
just walk away from it? I have seen it give up if there's too many
reads/writes, but I don't know the parameters of when or why it stops.

Possibly the better idea is setting up an auditd rule to watch /pub -
that's sorta what auditd is designed for.
