Please reboot your computer first.

And after doing that, see if using just the browser — no other apps, shortcuts, links, desktop icons etc. — just the browser — works just on its own, before trying to understand what the other icons are trying to do.

yes the browsers works by it self i went t profile and removed parent ock

why is this happening it ass corrected until this new update on everything i showed all the updates there were in previous o i did and it still is ruining but not responding then when i click on i hit Instagram or Facebook or YouTube they all even with all adons shut off it still does it say that it is ruining but not responding i do not know what to do all i did was download the new version did not change a thing in Firefox i have turned of and removed some addons and still getting it i do not want to put all new desk top icons and i tied remove and re adding s desktop icons and that did no good either i guess now i will have to go to Chrome because this keep happening please ois ther away to stop seeing this please help or ill have to either sufeer with it runing but no responding or go to Google

Are you using all the twelve or so profiles you have shown above in your profile directory?

(I don't think it's directly linked, but that's some unexpected profile layout there to be managing and running…)

no i was not sure what ones to remove was afraid to remove ll of them.this is the one that shows up in profile when i click on more trouble shoot mode in FirefoxC:\Users\Mary\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3hyh5cyo.default-release-1-1773237019566C:\Users\Mary\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\3hyh5cyo.default-release-1-1773237019566
