Chronic total failiure meltdown
Going on for years.Driven crazy by FF on desktop Have to close it down about 7 times before it loads up, as it just hangs. My connection is fine. Billions of mozilla has crashed messages over the years Randomly out of stab in dark changed settings to no proxy -which worked for a bit Cleaned cookies /cache - again makes only temprary difference -then back to nonsense Tried cleaning today through manage exceptions settings - ( which apparently has the cache /cookie size of all visted websites........................and there are no websites there listed FF is up to date and i had to restart FF 5 times after posting this. This is getting silly.

hello???
It is possible that your firewall or other security software blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox application. Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
