On OSX 10.6 and 10.7, Firefox will not load a web page unless my external hard disk spins up.

My thought is that Firefox is trying to cache or pre-fetch something, but why is it doing it on my external backup drive?

No other browser does this. Only Firefox. It's annoying because the backup drive is slow, so I have to wait for it to wake up, spin up, do whatever it needs to do, and THEN Firefox becomes usable again.

Maybe Firefox is searching for fonts.

Try to move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts.

  1. Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
  2. Open Font Book > Preferences
  3. Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
  4. Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to "Computer"
  5. Select all User fonts
  6. Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
  7. Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts
