    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
It should also NOT relate to firefox, as it is related to bootup.

Boot to LiveCD and umount ALL the internal partitions, if you run:

sudo fdisk -l; mount

You will see the partitions as well as if they are mounted or not. You
cannot safetly fsck a partition which is mounted.

You will unmount them with:

sudo umount /dev/<name of partition>

(NOTE: it is umount and not unmount, this is NOT a typo)

once all are unmounted

you are free to run:

sudo fsck -Va /dev/<partition name>

You will need to check all partitions just in case.

You could also not the manufacturer of the drive and downoad the
ultimate boot CD (www.ultimatebootcd.com) and scan the drive with the
manufacturers too to ensure that it is physically ok.
