Hello FrancF,
Thank you for posting on Mozilla Support. We value and appreciate you as a user.
Please do a malware check on both computers.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Microsoft Security Essentials (A good permanent anti-virus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
