Not reinstalling but resetting. How is here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-preferences-fix-problems
Dafydd.
I have a HP500 pavillion, running 8.1. I use Firefox as a browser. It's up to date. Using Firefox, sometimes it will start opening and duplicating a tab. It just keeps opening more of same tab. I finally figured out that you can stop it by "Xing" out the tab that is being duplicated. If not, it just keeps opening new tabs. (The refresh circle is going all this time, too.)
Coincidentally (or not), when using Word, it will start inserting lines just as fast as it can go. I had it insert 50 pages yesterday in a 4 page document. I can stop it by hitting the backspace button, but if I stop backspacing before I get all those errant spaces out, it will start inserting again. (The document had page breaks, headers, etc.)
My computer crashed a few months ago, but I was able to get it going again, I had to reinstall everything, though.
Any suggestions or advice?
