While playing through the Library on Halo I realized something. GS 343 was talking about the Halos true purpose and he mentions something quite interesting.
After the first large out break the Halos were built to contain and study the Flood.
If so what happened the first time?
Did the Forerunners survive the first time by some sort of shelter?

That's a good question. Maybe that outbreak is why they activated the rings. Or something. But good thinking.

That's two Forerunner outbreaks and seemingly one activation.
How did the Forerunner get rid of them?
It could be part of H3's story, or a new weapon for it.

Yes, the halos are made to observe the flood, but the forerunners knew something could get wrong so they also made halo as a weapon to destroy the floods, if the outbreak would happen. Choose between dieing in an explosion or get your body infected by flood, and the evil would win...?

the halos were made to kill all the floods food not just the flood themselfs so if the forruners activated a halo...that explains why the forruners are extinct

i also have a theory that the prophets may be forruners.
