Firefox - high disk usage for several minutes once or twice a day.
All of a sudden my Firefox starts to use hard disc intensely. It happens once or twice a day and lasts about 10 minutes. This has been happening for a few years, I believe, on Windows 7 previously and now on Windows 10. The image I attached shows 4 MB per second and 70 % disc usage, but sometimes it can be much higher.
Windows 10 64 bit Firefox 56.0.2 64 bit

Can go back to 32bit if want or reinstall from a Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ Suggest try this. You can try to modify multi-process settings to see if this has effect. You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
