Among the websites are: AOL, Facebook, maxpreps.com. All open to an unusual looking home page.

--AOL crashes when I try to open my email box.

--Facebook will not function at all; it doesn't recognize that my cursor is on any field.

--Maxpreps.com has some pages operate fine, but others do not fully load.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
