While I working with or surfing with Firefox and I stop working for a few minutes, 2 to 5 min, a pop up show up saying that the "application failed to initialize..." It gives two options, to cancel it or fix it. none of then work, and to make the pop up go away I just click the "X" to close it. It works and puts Firefox back to work. On the upper left corner of the pop up it shows the name of the file as "Firefox.exe" How can I stop this pop up? What is the problem? Thanks for your help,

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift (Mac Options) > key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
