Could Firefox 36.0 be the conduit that allows compatibilitycheck.exe on my Acer 32 bit Vista laptop? I suspect either it or TBird 31.5.0 ?

My 32bit Vista Acer Aspire 4730Z has recently fallen victim to the "compatibilitycheck.exe" problem. See (http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/index.php/t313939.html) for details on this problem.
I repeatedly go into Safe Mode and using DOS functionality delete the offending files ,compatibilitycheck.exe and others in a directory named "Compatibility Verifier" which often have spawned into all user's account on the PC. I do this with WiFi off, ie. not connectivity to the greater web. I reboot with WiFi off in normal mode and the PC is lightening fast. However after I reconnect to the web via WiFi the infection/virus or whatever it is returns, hogs CPU, and brings my Acer to it's Knees.
I can watch the spawning take place before my eyes in Windows Task Manager "Processes" where multiple instances show up each grabbing CPU.
Am running FireFox 36.0 with NoScript 2.6.9.16 and TBird 31.5.0, CLAMWIN ver 098.6 AV is also installed with current Virus DB always updated.
No other browsers are even on my machine except the built in IE which I never touch.
Could this infection possibly be coming in through my web connections through either Mozilla application
AM NOW ENTERING THIS ISSUE ON A MACBOOK PRO MacBook appears to be immune from compatibilitycheck.exe issues so whatever "Troubleshooting Information" i send in by pushing "Share Data" IS IRRELEVANT to my PC issues.

I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
Preferred: 8.8.8.8 Alternate: 8.8.4.4
Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

everything has been working fine for years... this new comp is almost a year old (iMac, OS X 10.9.5). It suddenly crashed tonight... then crashed on start-up multiple times. I tried a clean install of a new download... same prob. I tried a clean instal of an older version. same prob. I tried safe mode... and it seems to work until I try to use it... then nothing... in each case the Force Quit App menu eventually showed "not responding"... I still waited in case it needed more time... but nothing ever helped.

If I go away from my computer and come back, FF will not update any pages. It just sits and spins. The spinner does not even turn green. If I close FF and try to open it again I get an "already running message" and then an error message saying that my profile cannot be found. I did a total Refresh to create a new profile but exactly the same thing still happens every single time. I have to restart my computer every time I am away for more than ten minutes because FF will not refresh any tabs if I let is sit for 10 minutes. This all started after the latest update. I assume the Refresh is like an uninstall and reinstall. Of course I lose all my add one every time I do that. Very frustrating. HELP.

HI i am having a problem with the lasted firefox browser. You see when I go to this website to watch a video witch is through youtubthe video will play for a little bit and then it will freeze but the audio of the video will keep playing but the video will still be frozen. I have went into firefox and I did go into tools and under privacy where it says clear recent history and I did put a check mark into clear catche, cookies, website preferences and push on the continue button. Then I went back to the website and again I did try and watch the youtube video with the same problem as described above. So then I did uninstall Adobe flash player and shockwave player and re downloaded both flash player and shockwave player and reinstalled them again. This changed nothing the youtube video keeps freezing and the audio keeps plays even when the video is frozen in firefox. edit: I was wondering can your antivirus cause videos from youtube to freeze.

So I lost my profile when FF updated, and had to create a new one. From what I can tell, to do what I want to do I need a Chrome Folder inside the new profile folder. There was none, so I created one. I also created a .css file named exactly how I put it in the title, is this the correct name, or should "user" be my profile name?
Last but not least, here is the exact text I have in the file, nothing more, or less, just this:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#TabsToolbar { height: 15px !important; }
#PersonalToolbar {height: 4px !important;}
#BookmarksToolbar {height: 4px !important;}
#MenuToolbar {height: 4px !important;}
#tabbrowser-tabs { height: 15px !important; }
#TabsToolbar { margin-top:-15px!important; }
Saved the file. Restarted FF, no effect. Changed numbers, still no effect.
TIA for help.
p.s there is likely some redundacy there for sure, please advise. I want all 3 in title of thread smaller (as in less height)

Whenever I browse just the battle.net group of forums (Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, etc) I get a Connection was reset error. The site loads normally if I refresh the page or go back and click the link again.
It only happens with the battle.net sites, all other sites are fine.
I've performed the regular duties; clear cache/cookies, start in safe mode, reboot computer, reset router, etc. The problem still occurs. I thought it might be my antivirus (AVG) but the problem persists when I disable that.
I even thought it might be due to the upgrade to FF36, but downgrade back to FF35 hasn't helped either.

I don't run a proxy, and there's not one set up on my computer (internet options control panel checked).
EDIT: I think Adblock Plus might be interfering, so I'll tentatively mark this as solved, although ABP shouldn't have been running in safe mode.. odd.
EDIT2: Nope, still happening with ABP off. :-(
