While the browser runs smooth, it nevertheless causes occasionally EXCESSIVE HD activity, and I wonder why. the drive starts spinning for minutes as if wanting to reformat the complete partition.

All partitions are clean and tidy and get defragged once or twice a week. Plenty of space, 2 GB RAM, winXP. The Windows partition after the drive stops spinning, is 20% red afterwards. Does not happen with IE7. to me it looks as if Windows and Firefox do not like each other!?
