Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
  2. Java Plug-in 1.6.0_11 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.

Update the Adobe Reader plugin to the latest version.

Do you have a problem with opening links?


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
