I'm running the latest FF under Win7. Seems that whenever I go to the Merriam-Webster (dot) com site, after a few seconds, my disk activity light goes solid, and the FF CPU usage spike to 10-25%. One time, to regain control of my system (because everything seemed hung) I actually had to resort to the physical power-down switch. Obviously I immediately ran a virus scan upon coming back up (scan showed all okay). Now, if I stay away from Merriam-Webster, FF behaves normally. But it's a damned dictionary site. I occasionally will need to use it or stumble into it. I've used MW in the past without problems. Does anyone know what's going on?

Greetings,

My sign in keeps going in circles. I followed the instructions the site requested, with no resolution. I still cannot get to my Pocket articles. I did the following: I signed out of pocket, I went to the login page, I attempted to log into pocket, which did not work, I logged into Firefox, I did not see "Continue to Firefox to login to pocket" I just keep going in login circles with email authentications and authentication requests. What is going on?

Thanks, Aaron

I subscribe to The Times (UK) and use many of their different portals. I am, however, experiencing a really odd problem. For the last three Mondays in a row when I hover over a link it shows one destination which is now three weeks out of date and downloads same when clicked. When I Inspect(Q) the relevant bit of script it shows the correct page for the current week. All other links from the current edition work as expected. The link works correctly on other days of the week. The IT support at The Times have no idea why this is happening and have simply asked me to do stupid things like clearing all cache and cookies relevant to their site. this has no effect whatsoever!

How can this happen and have you any help on the subject?

I often leave Firefox open since I always have a ton of tabs open. Recently, I've noticed that if the app is not freshly open, like I've closed everything and quit and restarted the app, YouTube will not play and other media (e.g. the "how to pronounce" buttons on dictionary websites) just loads forever. Firefox did not previously have this issue and I could easily have 30+ tabs open and play media on a stale browser session.

I've been noticing for the last month that after a few hours in a browser window, I'll suddenly have a pinned tab for some random website. Some for promotional things, others in languages I don't understand, etc. At first I downloaded a webpage blocker, blocked the ones that were pinned, and deleted the tabs. However, after a short while (an hour or two) they would appear again in pinned tabs only this time it would say website blocked.

I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox in hopes that would solve the issue, but it is still happening. I unpin the tabs and delete them immediately after I notice them, but they keep appearing. I really like using Firefox and use it often for work, but I'm concerned for my personal and work security. What should I do?

Hi Collective Brains, Rebuilding my computer after a hack and can not seem to get the little house shaped (Home) button for Firefox back onto my address bar so when I open a new tab and google I can not go back home to Firefox without opening another new tab. Okay, so it's a bit nit-picky, but, hey, it's a bug I don't need right now. Can someone give me a hand, please and thank you Kate

I keep getting browser update screens by microsoft asking me if i would say yes to installing the latest download or update. I checked my settings and i'm set to get automatic updates but they are all in pending status because I say no to the microsoft question everytime because i didn't know if i could trust that warning that they throw up.

What do you advise?
