FF 18.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. Within 1 minute of starting FF I observe constant and excessive disk activity. I am unable to use any other applications due to the response time.

I have closed all tabs and disabled all plugins. I have just started a FF "reset to factory default", but pop-up window for "Please wait while Firefox cleans up your old data" has been running for 15 minutes.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you've got some other problems on your computer as well.

Restart your PC, then try the steps at http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx#fbid=6pXkdz7T_94 to try to clean your computer up.

After that, Try to reset Firefox again.

I re-installed FF 18.0.1. So far no problems. Except that I had to delete my profile.ini.

Is there any way to restore my bookmarks?
