    HD Light Comes on when Closing Firefox


    For a few days now, when I close Firefox, the HD light comes on and runs for several minutes. This has not happened before. I went to Task Manager Processes and it one of the svchost.exe that was running. I clicked on that to see whet Services were highlighted. Here a list, if relevant:


    AudioEndpointBuilder - Windows Audio Endpoint Builder

    CscService - Offline Files

    Netman - Network Connection

    PcaSvc - Program Compatibility Assessment Service

    SysMain - Superfetch

    TrkWks - Distributed Link Tracking Client

    UxSms - Desktop Window Manager Session Manager


    Is there anything of concern here?

    Just an opinion, "SysMain - Superfetch" -- I turned my W7 SuperFetch off, however, that may or may not help in this case.

    do not need to auto-load and run in the background.
    Go into the "Services" list (services.msc) and then change their startup type to Manual.

I have encountered BSOD several time when closing or using firefox on a windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit . I have used the dm log collector to extract the log files needed . Please tell if more details are needed.
For some reason or another when I close Firefox a thing pops up and it says The instruction at 0x65439789 referenced memory at 0x0000001c. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program any help in fixing this error would be helpful
Mozilla doesn't seem to have a clue what's causing the crashes. I'm running only one other app which is the newest Flash (from Adobe website). The faulting module is XUL.DLL. Attatched a couple of files from Event Viewer. The "after close" crash is sporatic (maybe once every two or three days)....

My apologies if this is posted in the wrong section. I'm having problems closing Firefox in Windows 7. It appears that the program is always still running in the background and uses large quantities of CPU usage. I always have to stop the program in Task Manager or reboot before it will open...
