I just tried to install the trouble shooter below and yr site says its not allowed and an untrusted software....maybe u can see what i mean.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

SCAN WITH ALL PROGRAMS.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.


Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
