when firefox 5.0.1 starts up, it sets the windows c drive dirty bit on and the next time the computer reboots it causes a 'chkdsk'-annoying. I've checked this and seen it happening using 'fsutil dirty query c:' and it's off before firefox starts and on afterwards. I can even turn it off diddling with the, for example, add-ons option and disabling/enabling an add-on like zoom-in for instance.

Update your video drivers. Your system details shows you to be running drivers dated 11-11-2005 which are too old to run Firefox efficiently.

You can update to the current version which is 275.33 by dowloading from http://www.nvidia.com

Remove the existing drivers via Add/Remove Programs first.
