You can also install the portable Firefox version if you want to run Firefox from an SS drive.

Give this a try & see if it helps, reference the link I provided below.
Note: It lists the steps for Windows Vista & Not 7, however the steps for 7 are identical to those given for Vista.

Firefox makes extensive disk writes to your profile folder as well, since your history is stored there, along with settings, bookmarks, passwords, cookies, etc.
You can ascertain the location of your currently active profile using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder button
Assuming you can't move your entire "C:\Users" path off the SSD (does Windows allow that??), you can move your Firefox profile to a different drive using the steps in this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder
It would be a good idea to start by making a separate backup copy of your profile folder in case something goes wrong during that process.
