Somehow, the attached screen became visible after my browser had become unresponsive, trying to use Facebook. Looked very bogus to me. "Uploaded images" box, below, is not clearing so I'm going to try to send this, anyway. It was just a small jpg file.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
