Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

Thank you for your reply After trying several things............... What seems to be happening is that when I open FF the priority stays with peogram which is already open So....If I have - say - my CAD program open and want to download additional symbols, FF will open but not be in opertion until I click on it In other words it does not take up priority over the runniing program
