Does not appear in task manager. This is after repeatedly asking for current add-ons to be installed every time FF opened. Subsequent uninstall / re-install. Troubleshooting Information "Automatically add" button does not work !

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

I uninstalled/re-installed FF and tried safe mode, same result. I then tried refresh FF and it seems ok for now at least. Many thanks for the quick reply Fred  :-)
