Every time I click on the Firefox browser, I get Ad-aware instead of the Firefox home page; why? How do I delete it if I so choose?
Ad-aware page comes up instead of Firefox. I did not ask for it or download it knowingly. Why do I not just get the Firefox home page?

When Firefox updates, it changes my search engine. I use Firefox for security purposes (although not as much anymore). Why would anyone in their right mind want to use Bing as their search engine? I don't want it EVER. Please let me know how to stop this from happening.
Firefox is already running but not responding - can't kill the process with Task Manager/Taskkill

Since the last update to Firefox I am getting a 'Firefox is already running but not responding error message'. This is happening on my Win10 machine - my Win7 box is not having any issues since the update.
I have followed the advice of creating new profiles, checking for locked profiles (and being unable to remove the lock?). I have completely removed Firefox from my system - uninstalled via control panel, deleted all folders in Program Files and Users etc, removed temp files and edited the registry to completely remove any Mozilla/Firefox entries. Completely clean install - as far as I can tell - but the problem re-appears as soon as Firefox is reinstalled. I've tried all this in WIn10 safe mode as well but still no joy.
The issue seems to be that there is a process running that cannot be terminated but I'm unable to kill the single remaining Firefox.exe process listed in task manager. When I try 'taskkilll /IM firefox.exe /F' from the command prompt I get an error that the process can't be killed as an instance of it does not exist. If I try 'taskkill /IM firefox.exe /T /F' it advises that a child process is keeping the main process alive - explorer.exe. Terminating explorer.exe does not free up the firefox.exe process for termination (same error of the instance not existing). The only way to clear the process is to reboot my system, Firefox will then start ok but when closed the issue will occur again.
I'm on my 4th clean install and the issue persists, so any help or advice beyond what I've tried would be appreciated.

When signing in to some websites, I see a dialog box that flashes once and disappears before I can read it or respond to it. If I have cleared my browser and reset permissions, for example, it shows up when signing in to Amazon.com. This is a standard FF dialog, looks like the 'save/don't save' password permissions dialog, one side of the box is white, one side blue, but it appears and disappears in considerably less than a second, before I can read much less respond to it.
Once I did catch a box like this--maybe the computer was slowed with something else that day--which was about my giving permission to allow Amazon.com to use fingerprinting information from my browser.
My question: can I slow down such dialogs so that I can read them and actually decided whether to give permission or not?

Fairly recently, I've noticed that Firefox will move sites automatically to a folder, fine and dandy, until it keep sending sites to the same folder despite me wanting to fill another folder. Example: browsing for computer components then looking for home improvement items, since the computer parts folder was used first, Firefox will continue to select the computer folder, when I select a different folder, in this case it's home improvement, I have about 2-3 seconds to hit save bookmark before it re selects the computer component folder, is this a feature? is there a way to disable it? or is there something else going on, any help is appreciated, it's frustrating

There was an automatic update today which was actually important to fix a security breach from what I've read. But with the new update, videos in youtube stutter and it gets kind of unwatchable. Sound is allright, but the picture is really bad. Not the resolution though, it must be something with the processing of the video itself.

I'm pretty handy with these computer-web thingies - was exctied to see the recent upgrade, but all of a sudden, all of my searches are being passed to Google - MASSIVE RED FLAG?!?!
I had all of my security dialled in very tight - removed Google, removed Twitter, removed Facebook, removed Amazon, set up containerized browsing to stop them all from talking to each other via ads, upgraded all security settings to give myself a nice, quiet interweb...
Is there any way updates can respect (at least) the selected search engine from before the update, so as not to expose my data to the cartel?
Many thanks - I'm a big advocate for Moz://a and all the amazing things you do <3
Open file association with Applications is not working. Firefox always uses Content Type of "file" to open files.

Even though the XLSX file in the example (images attached) is identified as such, when trying to open the file, the Launch Application window appears which is for files of "file" Content Type. This started occurring about 3 months ago, after a Firefox Update. I do not know to which version unfortunately. It affects all users so it's not profile related. I tried to Refresh Firefox and Restart with Add-ons Disabled from Tools > Help > Troubleshooting information but it didn't help.

I'm facing problem while browsing firefox since many days.
