Firefox does not start but HDD usage goes up to 100% on Windows 8.1 and blocks / freezes the computer

Today my firefox 33 did not start any more. In task manager the process was shown, but with memory = 0 and CPU = 0. But the HDD usage of my computer went up to 100% and it was fully blocked for everything else. Waiting for a couple of minutI es did not change anything, also rebooting did not help

How-I-fixed-it:
Since Internet Explorer since worked on the computer, i went to https://www.mozilla.org/de/firefox/new/ and installed the latest version of the firefox browser. After this, firefox worked fine again.
