Previously, Firefox crashed allot! Recently updated to newest version, and now unwanted audible advertisements irritate me! What happened to the best?
Firefox is not responding... all too often! Having visual advertisements is acceptable on the open tabs, but unwanted audible advertisements that are choppy and slow my pc responsiveness is not acceptable! Possibly from Shockwave Flash, but when I search through my list of programs to remove it, so such item appears! I suggest that all unopened tabs should be put on hold, until it is opened again. Only one tab can be viewed at a time, so I see no reason for background programs to be running when they are not in use from an open tab/page. Also, I suggest you stop allowing Malware to come through on your browser, which would help protect your users, and keep your service wanted!

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
