Whenever Firefox loads, it plays the audio from a YouTube video I watched yesterday (but which is not open now)

Two days ago I watched a YouTube video in a Firefox window (Fred Astaire and ginger rogers, as it happens). I closed Firefox as per usual - the next day, I loaded Firefox and it loaded my home page (google.com), but started playing the audio to that YouTube clip in the background. Every time I load Firefox it does that. I have restarted, cleared out my cache and all Firefox history, but that didn't help. Any ideas??!?? David

1 - Open Firefox -> Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now you can Enable the Add-ons and it should be ok.

2 - If above solution does not work then you will need to start Firefox in Safe Mode. Check this out.
