Firefox is my preferred browser, but it has some disadvantages compared to other browsers. 1. It's slow and bloated, even without add-ons, fortunately it doesn't matter on my relatively modern machine. 2. It's known for all kind of issues. Some years ago there sometimes was the need to delete the configuration, to get Firefox running again, it simply couldn't be started sometimes, because there were bugs. Regarding to the kind of issue, it's more likely that Firefox is buggy and the HDD still is ok.
