You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

HI, you can do as you wish, we do not recommend you do that if there are places you have yet to explore or avail your self of the free service. We also would not be recommending such extreme things as that is up to you to decide.

We have provided you with a lot of information but you have yet not decided to go to the Pros as was suggested many reply's ago by myself. Please do so.

Save your Report and google each before deleting anything as do not want to delete something you need, If need help :

As Mozilla Firefox Support is for a Browser please take your questions to the appropriate virus/malware companies and support sites and forums.

These people specialize in malware while Firefox Support does a browser.

There must have been a reason why the developer wrote this extension .....
