When typing an email, a draft autosave feature locks up my wife's computer. Can it be disabled?

My wife has a desktop computer using XP and Firefox as a browser. The machine seems to lock up for several minutes when "autosave" functions to save the email as a draft. This happens while typing data. In other words, she is not asking for the document to be saved. I don't find anything about this under "options", so I don't know how to disable the function.
