Re: firefox

One thing to check
After closing Firefox go into Task Manager and check that the process has actually closed
For some reason it sometimes doesn't and that can cause problems

Re: firefox

Have another look at Task Manager for FlashPlayerPlugin.
I have noticed that if it's usage get high that tends to have an effect of FF. My FF (38.0.5) was struggling and I noticed that FlashPlayerPlugin was using over 2GB of memory. Having ended that Process tree FF zipped along nicely again.
This can be a regular occurrence.

Re: firefox

After "uninstalling" Firefox.... there is still a load of FF files still hanging around...... FF seems to refer back to these "historic" files when it is re-installed....
Using Windows uninstall...... and Absolute Uninstaller.... still does not remove these files.... so when you download a new "copy" and it does the install, it is using existing files and will give same result as before, if one is causing the problem

have a look in Mozilla > Firefox and then delete/erase Maint Service      Maint installer    Updater application    Updater  config settings.
then go to Apdata > your name . Local> Mozilla and delete/erase that folder...
then go to  Temp and  delete/erase Mozilla updater
then go to Roaming  and do the same with anything Mozilla > Firefox....
Then use CCLEANER and then re-boot....... THEN.... download and re-install.... 
I had to do all that to get an older version to install, and NOT do the Auto Update as soon as it had installed....
