Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
- Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
- In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
- Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
i did all that was in the article.....nothing changed. still can't access my apps
Do you get a large blank area? If so, do you see a "shield" icon in the address bar to the left of the address? If so, see this article about the mixed content blocker: Mixed content blocking in Firefox
Or if you see an icon that looks like a little piece of Lego, does it mention a blocked plugin?
no to both....i can access the internet email, some web sites,facebook i can get to and when i go to an app it only gets to a point and then doesn't open. ive contacted FB and a few games but they said they load fine. that it must be my browser. i cant use google chrome. it keeps coming up google chrome prev crashed relaunch now on or cancel....pick and get the message again and again. ive done all mentioned above. ive even uninstalled firefox and re install no change. im not good with computer lingo... i also keep getting amessage firefox is blocking this site......allow? when im on firefox???? sorry im so confused
i will not be back on till later...ni ni time
Could you test inFirefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)
Any difference?
yes ive done that as well. i tried again this am. some apps will open on FB but a lot will not. i also get this message a lot even on allowed pages: firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page....allow or ok.....i hit allow bc its pages i use on a regular basis
also when i logged on i got 2 error messages RUN DLL ??
You can turn off the redirection warning. That's a checkbox in the options. See: Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox.
Where do the RUN DLL error messages appear -- are they the kind of Windows dialogs that appear after an application crashes, or are they errors within Firefox?
Can you also try disabling all of your plugins except these three:
- Adobe Acrobat 10.1.8
- Java (TM) Platform SE...
- Shockwave Flash 11.9...
To disable them, set them to "Never Activate".
i did the above and still cant open some apps on facebook. the dll warning comes up when i first log on to my computer and then i dont see it anymore. im able to use another web browser and get into my apps but i want firefox back for my FB. i appreciate your patience.
when i logged my comp this am....it said run DLL.... is there hope for me? jk
Hi aorvis1108, does that DLL error come up when you start Firefox, or before you start Firefox? I'm not sure of the connection.
You might be able to learn more about the error in the Windows Event Viewer. This article describes how to do that:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-event-viewer
im sorry i dont understand what to do on that website?? im lost... the error comes up when i log on to my computer first thing before opening anything.
Can you attach a screenshot?

- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Hi i tried to take a screen shot and it won't do it....ggggrrr i hit alt prtsc and nothing happens. i don't know again what im doing wrong. i followed instructions from both sites you gave me. i even tried to copy and paste but nope...
i wanted to add that i have not been able to view some other sites i've viewed before. you tube and a card site....weird how some work and some not. i still can't get a screen shot....they do say conduit in both error messages..
