Default O.T. FF browser issue?

Just like it did when I was on eBay. There were
no-pops ups it just starts playing from I don't
know where? Again, I had nothing else opened.

Also, in relation to the slowness of connecting
to pages. I've literally seen it say it was
'handshaking' at the bottom of the screen while
it was trying to connect. I haven't seen that since
modems!

All this is not right.


Thoughts/suggestions,

I don't have 57 installed because it breaks too many of my FF add-ons.
I plan on waiting until updates are available. Sadly, for one of my
favorite add-ons, the author has decided to not develop it for 57 and later.

For FF troubleshooting, the very first thing you should do is restart FF
in Safe Mode. This disables any add-ons, and you are running bare bones
FF. Lots of times, problems go away, which means the issue is with one
or more add-ons and you'll simply have to track it down.

FF hasn't played nicely with Flash for a long time. When that happens,
I open that page in a different browser.

For a YouTube video, I just click on the pop up that says watch it on
YouTube.

Worst offenders for me, in this area, are the TV station videos.
