When I open orkut in Firefox 3, I get a very high amount of disk I/O. I use Windows XP.

I checked and verified this using the task manager. I found that closing the orkut tab stops this. Is this a problem with firefox.

What exactly do you mean by HIGH DISK I/O..??

If you are talking about high data traffic from the internet while orkut is open in any of your tabs in mozilla firefox, then it is because since orkut has integrated its chat client (gtalk gadget) in its pages, so the page's data transfer has increased, because the chat client keep refreshing itself constantly.
