"Downloading the latest applications" appears in Firefox, but doesn't stop or disappear.
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
When I open Mozilla Firefox, there is a blue/white bar with the words "Downloading the latest applications" in it. A dotted circle keeps spinning. Nothing stops or disappears and there is no listing of what applications are being downloaded. How do I stop this?
This started this week. The only thing that I did differently before this start was to add a router to my modem and connect them to my computer and laptop.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
