When I turn on the computer Google comes up for me to sign in to because (I guess) that's the email corporation. But there are icons on a "bar" that are apparently Firefox. And nothing that says Mozilla. It seems to me that Firefox used to come up and then there was a place to click on Google for email.
I don't understand these relationships and what a browser is vs homepage vs search engine (which is always, for some reason, a thing called "bing"). Younger computer savvy people cannot seem to give me the answers - they will always start talking circles around my head as if I already understand these things. At my work, the only class I ever got was when all this started around 1991.

my computer told me that windows updates were available and that I needed to restart so I did. When the restart was complete firefox doesn't work at all now. It jut gives me the "Problem loading page" error no matter what website I visit. I have tried removing it from my windows fire wall and re-adding it but that did not help. I also try to uninstall firefox and reinstall but that didn't help either.
I am using Widows 7 for what it's worth. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This also happens on normal Firefox as well.

I use Firefox as my preferred browser. I have been using Firefox 35 and recently updated to 36. Yahoo! Mail is my email provider. Every day, for weeks, when I first boot up my computer, when I open Yahoo! Mail and login, Yahoo! Mail freezes. To get it to unfreeze, I have to hold down CTRL and ALT and press DEL, more than once, to get to the screen where I can choose to enter Task Manager. Instead, when I click on CANCEL, Yahoo! Mail unfreezes. This only happens when I boot up the computer and try to log into Yahoo! Mail fresh.
I have read both Firefox and Yahoo! suggestions for eliminating what might be the causing problem: clearing the cache, deleting cookies, disabling add-ons, temporarily disabling the anti-virus software (I use AVG), etc.. None of them have worked. I have read both Firefox problem solver and Yahoo! problem solver comments stating the problem is the other service. I do see that others who use IE, Chrome, and Safari have had similar problems with Yahoo! Mail.
I am tired of this. What can be done to fix this problem? I have also posted my problem for Yahoo! Mail problem solvers.
Memory leaks when watching video full screen

When ever i watch videos i get memory leak, if that's the right word to call it, to avoid video lags i new use only 1 video Tab & not 2 like in the past, its just some sources are slow with loading, that why i use to use 2, awry time i click on next EP memory usage grows & awry time i click on full-screen it grows even more & larger number, depending source, some sources use RAM & some committed memory (but with both memory usage grows with each video), so far anime sources use committed & TV series sources ram, also there was talk that Firefox 36 will be free of Flash, that it goes over to HTML5, but i still see flash in my plugins & also all videos still use flash, with anime ram usage increases to a bit, but not as much as with TV series sources, when will the memory leak be fixed?
EDIT:
lets just say it leaks memory when watching videos, its just worse in full screen, with TV series it doesn't matter full screen or not, still takes a lot of ram, well in the end of the day its a lot, starts from over 300MB & grows, some sources leak ram & some committed
all my adds, its for extra information

When I print a web page, the other columns on many pages overlap with the content I'm trying to print resulting in an unreadable printed pages. This issue does NOT occur in other browsers so I've had to resolve by printing using IE or Chrome. I've tried ALL of the recommended fixes on your help topics with NO fix. All my print page settings are at the recommended default and I've reset the printer properties via your help topic recommendation. Can you help? My printer is a HP laserjet 2200d. My OS is Windows 7, 64-bit.

lately there is something going on with either Fire fox or the internet or something..
When I click on something, fire fox just sits there saying "connecting".. Many times I have to click on something several times or exit firefox and restart.
I tired uninstalling firefox, rebooted my windows 7 computer, reinstalled firefox and still get the same problem.
ALSO, Downloads,. Having problems downloading now. Seems the downloads never START.
I used A few addons such as download helper, and such and they are totaly out of whack now. Download helper won't work unless I go to tools, addons, then close the tab.. then when I select the file to download, it put it in a que..
I use Adblock Plus and Avast AV, and Admuncher. I've turned them all off, and STILL have problems with downloading and connecting..
If I am forced to have to see and watch endless advertising to be able to use the internet, I will pull the plug on this thing just like I did the television 12 years ago.

System details: OS: Windows 8.1 Professional (64-bits) Graphics Card: PNY NVidia GT 610 (2GB) RAM: 5GB Firefox version: 36.0 (32-bits)
Starting yesterday, when images would load on websites, some of them would either be completely black, or mostly black, with only a piece of the images loaded, only to fully load several minutes later.
Turning off hardware acceleration resolved this issue, but reduced the overall performance of firefox. Is there any other way to work around this issue, besides turning off hardware acceleration?
Note: The only 2 things I didn't try were resetting firefox, and a fresh install of firefox. I don't want to lose my addon data, and custom firefox settings, because it takes too long for me to put them back where they are now.
I'm also fairly computer savvy, so you can get pretty technical with me. If I don't understand something, I will ask.
