Thanks. This spurred some research and I decided to disable the disk cache entirely instead:

user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.offline.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", true):
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 512000);

Seems an easy way to avoid the SSD churn and syncing issues, since today's fast internet connections make disk caching less useful. That may be wrong but so far it seems as fast as ever.
