Using Firefox on a new Toshiba computer, Windows 8.1, lots of Ram and Graphics memory. Seems to work OK but I get a blank "About" window at times that I have to close. It seems like another Firefox window and sometimes offers a search bar. Can I turn this off? or what causes it? Mike Rees

Hi mdrretired, Your version is 26, try the new Firefox 29. Update Firefox to the latest release and lets have a screenshot to see if this still continues after the update.
