Hi David.

You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

I got it to work yesterday

Disabling all plugins was my first effort. (no luck) Uninstalling extensions was my second effort (no luck) I then did a reinstall keeping my settings (no luck) I then did a reinstall with all new settings (this worked)

Thanks for your suggestion however.
