Click the orange Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and remove the following:


  • Hotbar
  • Hotbar SAI Plugin
  • My Web Search

All three are adware servers and will slow your system down to a crawl. For more info on both see:

Also, update the following.


As regards the Adobe updates, the versions you have installed at the moment are a security risk. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
