Firefox and EXREMEY High HDD Usage via "System.exe", and constantly Killing an 'Entire' PC's Capability..

..Sad to say, I'm writing this in another browser because of this EXTREMELY annoying problem, that's been an unresolved issue for the better part of a year now.. After close to two decades of using Firefox, I'm actually considering moving to something else at this point. It's getting to be remarkably inconvenient using Firefox recently.

Why the hell has Firefox been using such remarkable amounts of system-side HDD for prolonged amounts of time? (Primarily the System.exe process) on a "Very" annoyingly basis?? It's clearly Firefox causing the issue, stimulating the "System" process. It slows down the entire computer in entirety, including just trying to load a basic webpage (such as Google's homepage) for God's sake!

This needs to be fixed, it has been going on for far, far too long now! Even on a very up-to-date PC, it takes 10 or more minutes to get the damn browser to work, while it's killing everything else on said computer due to very, excessively, System HDD usage, without the ability to load a single page, or file, folder and etc...thus ruining the purpose of a 'browser' and the entire computer as well.

The 'System.exe' Overload needs to be fixed. I, and all of my customers are tired of using Firefox because if this. It's pushing people away from what 'use' to be a wonderful browser.

I know factually it isn't a virus issue, or otherwise.

Please, fix this issue before it drives away the majority of your users.
