I cannot close websites that I have visited. They keep coming back.

Firefox is my default browser, chosen as such because it is much easier to create and access my bookmarks than with Google. Lately I have been having problems with Firefox being slow, and crashing and recently it does not allow me to close websites I have visited. For the past day or so, it has become unuseable because it keeps bringing me back to the same website it won't allow me to exit.

When does this happen?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,

Some of your crash reports weren’t sent to the Mozilla Servers.

In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
