Firefox is the only program causing me trouble. I have a gaming computer so I know it isn't because of hardware.

Try Refresh Firefox

If the problem still exists then uninstall Firefox, reboot and reinstall.

Hope this helps!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
