Don't know if it's bad, but you could try Privacy Badger instead. It doesn't use a lot of resources in my machine.

All I can tell you is to keep plugging away. Maybe your copy of FF is damaged. Did you try uninstall and reinstall? it won't affect your profile.

looks like there's no solution. i also have a couple of problems with windows 10 that i couldn't solve; nothing major, just annoying. oh well! i'm getting fast at pressing the F5 key. thanks for trying!

Er you still haven't revealed which (if any) Anti Virus you're using..
Also; presumably Fx e10's/Multi process is disabled as I doubt some of your extensions are compatible..

my antivirus is eset NOD32 Antivirus 10.1.219.0.

when i look at my FF extensions, 12 of them now say "legacy" and 4 don't. i have never seen that notation before.

i don't understand your second statement. please clarify.

i just found out what "legacy" means. "One of the concerns that Firefox users who run one or multiple add-ons in the browser have currently is whether their add-ons will make the cut when Firefox 57 comes along. It is in this version of Firefox, out November 2017, that Mozilla plans to drop support for so-called legacy add-ons."

i will be losing 12 of 16 extensions. #-o
