Firefox issue

[blodhi74]

As soon as I launch FF, the HDD usage light goes solid. The system becomes very unreponsive.
Reinstalled FF various times. Tried running FF in safe mode to no effect.
Machine is free of any malware.
Antivirus reports no virus.
IE works fine. Any assistance would be appriceated.

so what was it?

For some reason my PVR software was trying to update the TV listings form a server that has been changed.
Starting FF invoked the lookup.
I let FF sit there for 15 mins before it came up with the error that helped me resolve the issue.
