Hey everyone,

I've encountered a puzzling issue with my Firefox browser. Every time I open Microsoft Edge, the disk usage by Firefox spikes significantly, which is unusual and a bit concerning. To give you a better picture, I've attached a screenshot from the Task Manager showing the stats.

As you can see, Firefox's disk usage maintains above 50 MB/s, which is quite high compared to its normal performance. This anomaly only occurs when Edge is opened and subsides once I close it. I'm not sure what's causing this interaction between the two browsers.

Has anyone else experienced this? I noticed some similar posts on: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1397573 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1375356 but no useful solution has been found.

Any insights or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe it's because you've ran out of system memory? Does this still happen when you're not out of RAM?
