On my desktop I switched to 64bit Win7 and installed the latest 32bit Tbird. Did the same on my32bit laptop. Laptop works fine in/out. 32bit Desktop would not send emails. Tried 64vit Shredder. Same problem; probably used same profile. Must use web for email until this is fixed. Second and latest problem. In 32bit Firefox, if I right click to send link by email, I get endless new tabs repeatedly. Have to shut down FF (twice???) and restart. Both are on PCs.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
