No matter which browser you use, make sure you’re using the latest version.
Introducing our latest release of Firefox for Android browser — Firefox Daylight. This version of the Firefox web browser is dramatically redesigned to be faster, easy to use, customizable and private. Firefox browser features Enhanced Tracking Protection on by default blocking thousands of annoying ad trackers and malware — making your experience more secure, and a lot faster too.
Automatic updates help ensure that most people run current, protected versions of the web browser. Google Chrome is the poster child for automatic software updates. They are installed quickly and quietly when users close the web browser. Firefox introduced a similar silent updates feature in 2012.
Get more done with the new Google Chrome. A more simple, secure, and faster web browser than ever, with Google’s smarts built-in.

The Refresh Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring your Firefox profile to its default state while saving your essential information.
Note: When you refresh Firefox, your bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs, windows, passwords, cookies and web form auto-fill information will be saved. However, your extensions and themes will be removed and your preferences will be reset. Learn more.
Click this Refresh Firefox button directly, if you are viewing this page in Firefox. This won't work if you are using a different browser or a mobile device.
You can also find a Refresh Firefox button at the top of the Firefox about:supportTroubleshooting Information page.
To continue, click in the confirmation window that opens.
Firefox will close to refresh itself. When finished, a window will list your imported information. Click and Firefox will open.
Note: There's a Refresh Firefox button in the Firefox Safe Mode window, if you can't start Firefox normally. You can also do a manual refresh by creating a new profile and transferring your important data to the new profile.
Sometimes files in your Firefox profile folder that correspond to the essential information that a Firefox Refresh doesn't remove (such as bookmarks and browsing history) may be causing the issue. You can create a new, additional profile which will not contain any of your old Firefox data. See the Profile Manager - Create, remove, or switch Firefox profiles article for instructions.

Often you can open the program's settings, remove Firefox from its list of allowed or trusted programs and it will be re-detected and things should start working again. If your program is listed at the Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet article, you can get specific instructions for how to properly reconfigure it.
Check for malware
Malware (short for 'malicious software') can cause problems with Firefox. Periodically, you should scan your system for viruses, spyware, or other malware. For more information, see Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.
