FF V.55.03 recent update Aug 28, 2017

Not only am I having an issue with Last pass not working since the latest FF update but for the past two days 80% of the time when I close a tab a new start tab opens. Any idea why? Also; my mouse isn't working...can't highlight, clicking isn't working, and keyboard sticks. Not sure if mouse and keyboard issues have anything to do with the FF update. Not to mention the system crashing 3 times in two weeks (Blue Screen). I'm thinking there's maybe more than one problem going on here...malware, virus, Trojan, browser hijacked ??? I would at least like to get the FF issues resolved.

This computer is a (Lenovo) Desk Top. Win 7 Pro. Looks like I'll have to take the computer to my IT guy...Great, more money. Any response would be appreciated...so frustrating.

Thank You

Last Pass should have an update out. If the problems continue, disable it.

Shortly after submitting this post I did disable all add-ons in FF. I am currently using the computer and browser to see what happens. My intentions were to go back and enable Last Pass only just to see what would happen. As of right now after about 1/2 hr. I'm not finding any issues with FF or my mouse and keyboard, however I don't want to speak to soon...cross my fingers. I can't imagine why an update to FF and a glitch with Lass Pass would be causing issues with my mouse and keyboard. I had the same problem in IE. Just an FYI, I before disabling add-ons opened IE 11 which I also have Last Pass plug in, installed and had the same issues there. At this point I'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for responding
