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.
