How can I make it so that I don't need to refresh firefox several times a day?
unfailingly, as I use my firefox during the day it gets slower and slower and eventually stops responding at all, and I repeatedly have to close it reopen it and run refresh firefox to get it responding well again. Why does this keep happening?

Some housekeeping - you have two Shockwave Flash plugins; you should remove the older one. Among your inactive(at time of posting) extensions you have two duplicates - Media View 1.1(not counting Viewer and Player), and Rich Media View 1.1.
I've now done a little research and Media View which I thought was a side issue now looks like the source of your problem. Google Media View for information and removal advice. I would recommend this one. https://malwaretips.com/blogs/ads-by-media-view-removal/ What do you use these for?
You should probably remove all extensions apart from Norton as they look highly suspicious to me.
