After I use Firefox 2 or 3 times after turning on computer, when I go to close it, it doesn't close and I can't reopen it and gain access to the browser. Nor can I jump from my e-mail program (Incredimail) to Firefox through links to web sites.

Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.2.5.196 Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.5.635
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Flash Player Version: Version 29.0.0.113

About how long is Firefox running before the problem shows up?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
