I think you probably have a bad add-on from Spigot or Conduit. Let's try to get rid of that.
Open Firefox's Add-ons page using either:
- Command+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Did this work? Since other Mac users are reporting similar symptoms, it would be helpful to know if you were able to track it down. Thanks.
