Thank you for the report, could you please describe how did you install Firefox? Was in installed using official installer, MSI or unzip?
Also, if you use an antivirus, probably would be a good idea to list that aswell.
Meanwhile, let's set the correct component.

FF was acting strangely, so shut it down and deleted the software. Downloaded a new copy of FF and installed it from Mozilla web site. Use Norton safe web as antivirus. It is running the newest update.
