Not sure what is wrong, but when I boot up computer and click on Firefox logo it appears that many, many pages open and makes me think I have a security problem. In addition, Google keeps saying I have sessions open but I have not done so. I have changed passwords, but I am still worried. I found another IP address on my security detail. I am an old lady and pretty worried. Maybe I should go to another browser.

Hi Rose, as a starting point, can you move your mouse over to the Firefox Taskbar button and hover it there for a few moments. Windows should display either a row of thumbnail images of different Firefox windows, or if there are a very large number, a list of windows. You should be able to show any window by clicking its thumbnail or list item. If you can tell it is needed, when you move your mouse pointer over the specific thumbnails or list item, there should be an X button to close it.

Using that method, are you able to get rid of any unwanted windows and have Firefox display just what you want?
