Upon start-up homepage loads, Firefox freezes, and then the homepage refreshes continually.
After trying to do a google search through my google plugin. Nothing happens and the page continues to auto refresh. I tried to re-install the browser and the same thing happens again. When I try to disable addon's, a new tab opens to show the active/inactive add-ons and the auto-refresh happens on that tab too.

You mention a Google plugin,
- what is that ?
- and do you need to use it ?
- does Firefox work ok with the Google plugin disabled ?
Note firefox lets you search from
- the location bar
Search the web from the Address Bar - the search bar
Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox - the Firefox default homepage, and from right clicking on selected webpage text
The google plugin is actually the search bar that you mention. I have no way to view the running plugins/add-ons because it opens a new tab and goes into the auto refresh mode .
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
