Firefox and google?
Using Mozilla firefox google ,search engine last week i was having terrible freeze and hangups, so i went into options and changed a lot of settings an switched to yahoo, and everything is ok, disabled, deleted add ons took all the checks out of tabs, have not defaulted back to try google
Were or are there issues or did i let mozilla update without permission?
I run mbam adwc jrt, consistently
JRT found twice a roaming folder with mozilla, that's when i fond the default had been changed
Settings have been appropriately changed, was curious/google firefox conflicts
Does one need any add ons for privacy, security with firefox? They seemed to be a problem here
First i ran system maintenance and no issues were found
Happy Holidays

It sounds like something happened to your profile, but I can't tell exactly what you did.
You didn't say which addons you installed. Disable them one at a time to see if that helps.
There are no Google/Firefox conflicts that I'm aware of. I've used Google as my default search engine for years.
What privacy/security addons are you talking about? I always run uBlock Origin.

I always run uBlock Origin.
First thing I add, reason, seems 90+% of the nasties comes from the ad servers.
I run mbam adwc jrt, consistently
Smart move!!!

Garbage you got from a ad server, as I got that kind of stuff until I started using the uBlock origin add-on.

Thanks,,
Installed i
t see what happens, i took off no script, adblock, better privacy, wot was on 7 until i saw it was loaded with tracking and selling
Apparently i missed one of the updates on fire fox and it installed there after w/o consent, and i forgot to check the options and correct, thus the problem started

Not in the versions of Firefox that I run.

No wonder your browser is barely functional. Adblock Plus now sells ads, so I don't recommend it. WOT can't be trusted anymore either. NoScript is too restrictive for me. Better Privacy doesn't seem to be very necessary (cookies).
You never said what version of Firefox you are running. That would help.
I don't use Charter, but I doubt you'd need to change the proxy settings.

CTRL+U will bring up the page source.
Or you can hit Alt which will bring up the menu >Tools>Web Developer>Source
JavaScript Debugger , well when we see that, normally there is a JavaScript error on the page and there is not a thing we can do about it. GRRRRRRRRRR
