In my case the toolkit.storage.synchronous is present in both, set to 1
in Deb and bolded and set to 1 in F10 (firefox-3.0.7-1.fc10.x86_64).

The latter's bold typeface makes me think my F10 FF
toolkit.storage.synchronous setting is NOT set to the F10 default --
although I have never heard of this setting, and have certainly not
manually tweaked it. The only FF setting I manually tweak is cache
directory.
