Firefox freezes when I open links in emails or website

For the past few months, I have had a problem with my computer - it seems to try to write to a hard disk (sounds like whirring ) and the keyboard freezes up for a few minutes, when whirring in the computer stops. I have taken the computer to Geek Squad two times and they said they found it, but it still happens.

I have just tried Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and I haven't noticed it. Is this a problem with Firefox or just coincidence?
