Using FireFox exclusively While using FireFox, I find it starting to hesitate and even locks up the screen and mouse. Using Ctrl-Alt-Del it finally allows me to open the Task Manager which breaks up the lock up. While in Task Manager I notice 3-4 instances of Internet Explorer open which I do not use.... I shut them down and the PC starts working normally.. After several minutes it starts being sluggish again.. I check Task Manager and find IE open again - again I shut it down This goes on and on Why is IE opening - I do not use IE nor do I want to use IE?? Any thoughts????

Is Firefox the default browser? Do you have any add-ons that call IE?

Open Windows Internet Explorer. Have it declared as the default browser. But turn off the option to check this when the browser opens (If you want).

Now do the same thing using Firefox.

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
