What could be the deal, when Firefox tries to stop me from unmounting a

my stick security. Thanks.
Since this is normally a root operation, I'm confused. Likely what it
means is that you have an open write path from firefox to the stick that
has not been properly closed. I get into a similar state working with
u-sd's using mc to edit something I have used mc to cd to, and forget to
cd back out of the u-sd before I eject the card to take it to its proper
home in a pi clone. Possibly fixed by stopping firefox first?
