Can't permanently close tabs. Over 50 are open. When I select "Close Other Tabs" they close and then later reopen.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Java Plug-in 1.4.2_03 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
  • Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
