Text editing tools
When attempting to edit text, highlighting a word causes brief display of some kind of icon (looks like a water faucet) just adjacent to the edit. This icon persists for about 2 seconds, then disappears. Simultaneously, I find that text selection is much more difficult. Is this a new Firefox feature (to get me to use another browser). ?

Note that the System Details List shows that you have multiple Flash plugins.
- Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
- Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
- (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
- (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
