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?

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
