Seems nobody is working on that bug. Try completely uninstalling firefox and installing a newer version.

BTW, how do you 'fun' a browser? :)

The problem lies somewhere in the OS probably.

Its not only related to FF but Opera too and most of the guys seem to be forgetting that.

If you enable Quota system on a drive, then you can assign the amount of space each user using ur PC can use on that drive...eg. If you assign 100MB of quota limit to a Limited User, then He/She cannot use more than that spave on that drive!!
You can set this only if ur drive is NTFS, by goin to the drive properties and the getting into the Quota Tab!!
