I am trying to watch the church videos from the website on my new mac. Apple told me that I couldn't open it because it was a flash video and that I should download Firefox. It opened up several windows starting from the left to the right, from the right over to the left and then on top of that. creating all kinds of windows. It won't let me close out. I've had to force close it. Help please

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I downloaded Firefox today.

Make sure that you do not select Firefox as the application to handle a file type and make Firefox remember that setting. You need to remove that action in Firefox > Preferences > Applications

See Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link
