Everything was working fine yesterday until I updated my computer with windows update. Aft5er that I wasn't able to download any gaming links from the piratesbay and other gaming sites, I would look to see what is wrong the I look in the url and I see a box with a circle with a line crossed over it like it wouldn't allow me to click the link. When I hover my arrow over it it would give me an option of allowing the blocked pop up, edit it etc. I did everything by clicking 'allow pop up,' 'block pop up,' everything, but it still didn't work. There are times where I would give up on downloading the link and exit the tab but then it wouldn't let me. I tried going to other tabs and it won't let me either. SO I had to restart firefox and it worked normally again.

I could hide firefox web browser but nothing else, yesterday I could exit the browser but when I click on it it won't work until I restarted my computer. Now, today I can't exit of firefox browser, so I had to restart my computer with the browser still active. Only then, did everything worked normally again. However, it would repeat the same process over and over.

What is wrong with firefox? I don't want to keep restarting my computer each time this happens.

Hello,

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Thank you.
