No solution: Hard drive run at 100%
After a certain time running normaly with the Firefox cache limited at 350Mo. The Navigator, after 15 seconds, make my hard drive run at 100% whatever i do. I have tried to empty the cache in 'Advanced Options' and restarting, still no solution. By the way in 'Advanced Options' under 'Cached Web Content ' it tell me 'Calculating the web contenu in cache...' and never change whatever i try!

What is your computer system and Firefox?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Is the problem still there?
Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
My system is windows 8.1 64Bits and Firefox 48 version X64. I have hold the Shift key and tried safe mode with did not change the problem. Then i tried the second option to repair firefox then i get the cache to empty. One question: what is the maximum cache size in firefox? What is you'r size?

Cache use is not always bad. Is this problem only on certain sites, or with certain content such as FlashPlayer . What are you using to measure the
hard drive run at 100%
My cache is set at a maximum of 250MB I am not sure if that is a fixed default, or whether it is a calculated one based on system properties. It can apparently be reset by selecting in about:config the pref
browser.cache.disk.capacity
and using the reset option. Note the pref used KB the Options use MB (Conversion factor X 1024) Note details of the cache may be found by keying in to the address bar
about:cache
Or specifically about:cache?storage=disk&context=
If you create a new additional Firefox profile then using that profile use Firefox just to visit this support forum does Firefox and the HDD behave normally ?
