Subject: Firefox Is Not Responding
Another feature about FF and Chrome is that you can just do control + L
and type in part of the web page and if you've been there, it takes you
there.
I probably type in more than I need to, but daily I check the Nebraska
lottery page, and that site is:
http://www.nelottery.com/
but if I do ctrl + L and type in only the letters nelott it takes me there.

there is 3 different ways to get to the book mark list.  each method works
differently.
there is control shift b,  this one closes the list as soon as you press
escape. alt b. this one does not show all the bookmark links.
control i opens the  entire list of links and you have the option to
search the
entire list. it stays opened until you close it again with control i.
but as i said both jaws and window eyes will hang when you open the
bookmark
list unless you turn off the virtual cursor first. or browse mode for
window
eyes.
also the virtual cursor will turn back on every time you leave the bookmark
list and will hang again when you press f6 to  put focus back on the list.

I thought the shortcut to open the bookmarks menu was Alt+B.  What does
Control+I do?

one thing  with firefox. if you open the bookmark menu with control i
without
turning off the vertual cursor it will hang for over a minute before speech
will come back.
it does this with both jaws and window eyes. it does not with n v d a.

I actually go through an ethernet connection which has its main point at
the
headquarters of the apartment complex where I live. In fact, I unplugged
the
cable I have from the ethernet connection on the back of my computer, and I
still get the same "Firefox is not responding", and it just hangs there
with
my whole machine frozen until I exit Firefox. What's up with that, I
wonder?

by unplugging the modem if you don't have it on a power strip.
a few modems have a button you can press to disconnect from the net too.
but you have to do this right after firefox has been installed.

I wonder if there's a way to change those options while the Internet
connection is off. If so, how would I do this?

did you turn off the internet connection as soon as you re installed it?
if you don't it will upgrade you as soon as you open it.
you have to leeve your internet connection off until you turn off automatic
updates and i also turn off the background services i think its called.
this
is in the same advanced settings area.

This is rather strange, since I can run it fine on this machine with
Windows
XP, same version (52.6.0), but I can't seem to run it on my Windows 7
machine
since February 14 of this year. Before then, it was working fine. When I
reinstall it, it automatically tries updating to Firefox 60, and I don't
understand why, because I've turned off updates to Firefox. Has anyone else
had this happen to them?
