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.

How to connect a TP-Link TL-WA850RE 300Mbps Universal WiFi Range Extender / WLAN Repeater to a Vodafone EasyBox 803 using WPS?

A friend asked me to help him to setup his TP-Link WiFi Repeater with his Vodafone EasyBox 803.

How-I-fixed-it:

Setting up the connection using WPS is pretty straightforward:
1. Plug in the repeater to a socket next to the EasyBox and wait until the Wireless and the RE LED are flashing (the RE will turn off after a while)
2. Press the WPS button on the upper left of your EasyBox (the one with the antenna symbol) for min. 2 seconds until the WiFi light on the frontside of the router starts flashing slowly
3. Press the RangeExtender/WPS button on the frontside of the repeater to start WPS setup. RE is now flashing.
4. After some time (can be up to 1-2 minutes), the RE LED should stay on.
5. The repeater is now connected to WiFi.

No Connection / Manual setup:
Plug the repeater into a socket and connect it to your computer using a LAN cable. In your browser address bar type http://tplinkextender.net. to Login use "admin" for username and password. On the status page it tells you, whether it's connected to WiFi or not.
For manual setup, please refer to:
