Why does my Mac (OS 10.7) warn me that Firefoxs' latest edition will cause harm to my computer? I ignored the warning , Scrolls rapidly & Beeps!
My Mac is an Intel core 2 duo, 233GHz, using OS 10.7. I've used Firefox for years without an issue. But as soon as I loaded the recommended update my computer has been doing a number of operations on its own. So far it has rapidly begun to scroll down menus and Word pages, when the computer is idle or when I'm keying in information it starts to beep (sometimes fast). Initially, it was giving me fits while typing, by changing regular characters (not all, but many) to symbols. I have reloaded my OS updates and have some stability reestablished. However, problems are still popping up now and then. I am currently running an older version of Firefox.

Download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new (latest) Firefox version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
- Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
Followed suggested resolution. Still had issues. Reloaded complete OS. Better. Will Monitor.
