Any computer technical people out here? - Firefox issues

[1970Moparmann]

Guys, pretty frustrated right now.   Last week my computer was acting like it had a virus, so I re-imaged it.   Loaded up a few drivers, Google Earth, and Mozilla Firefox.  One of the weird things that was happening last week was I kept on getting a web page message that there is a critical Firefox update that needs to be downloaded.  I always close it out, verify I have the latest version, and move on.   Well, after my re-image last week, I still get this critical update message and also Firefox will lockup every hour or so when I just have Iheart or even any webpage just open.    Any ideas?

My wife's pc had a similar issue. She ended up deleting all the Firefox files and then did a clean install with the latest version. She hasn't had an issue since. Might not work for you but it's worth a shot.

Thanks.  It's weird that this keeps happening.   Will try again.

When will your car be back on the road?

I'm in the middle of a three week break between semesters so I can do a bit of work to the car. This is the longest break in the entire program though and with school taking up all my time I likely won't be able to get all the work done until I'm done with school so that will be the second half of 2018...

Do either of you guys or anyone know if I take Firefox out and reload it will I lose my bookmarks? I'm having similar problems like 1970 is.

I found out how. Thanks if anyone was going to answer. Amazing what I can do if I just search...

Glad you found how to save the bookmarks.   Firefox must not be doing updates as quickly as before and still having issues.

This isn't a Firefox issue, as in it's not a virus in the Firefox code or on your particular PC. At least not until you try to install the "update". Its a Trojan that has been injected into the Ad sites that are loaded indirectly from other websites. I get this pretty frequently right now from ebay.
