FireFox opens & Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in a WOT “automatic” download.

WOT “automatically downloads” on a separate tab every time I start FireFox. Almost every time I start FireFox the Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in the WOT automatic download and ties up my PC. The problem does not occur with Internet-Explorer which I seldom use. 1- I removed WOT and re-installed it, but it continued the same. 2- I reinstalled the Adobe Flash Plugin which I always keep up to date. 3- Please work this out. 4- Why must WOT automatically download on a separate tab every time I start FireFox? It is very annoying. Thank you for all you do. Have a blessed day, Steve Lahey.

I have noticed that there is a user.js file inside of your Firefox application data or root directory.
This file is normally setup by a third party program and can cause various issues with Firefox.

Please try deleting this file.
Please report back soon.
