Over the last six weeks I have had to reinstall FireFox and follow all of your suggestions, including the one about Flash Player, which doesn't take long to go haywire and need to be redone as well. What's up? This used to never happen.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

See:


Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
