It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.

If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.

Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

No one will ever know. I turned them all off, then on, one by one, and the browser worked properly through the whole process, and continues to work now.

Something about doing all this apparently fixed it, whatever it was.

I never really wanted to know what it was; I just wanted it to stop, which it has. Thank you!

It could have been a corrupt file that was overwritten.

Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
