Solved Look what I just found with Firefox.

[Layback Bear]

As I always do a couple times a day, I check to make sure that Firefox and the add on were up to date and got this. Checking for Firefox updates worked fine but as soon as I went to check add ons I get those pictures. I have not changed anything and I have very few add ons.

I don't see that either by goto mozilla.org directly or by clicking Check... in Plugins. All looks normal here.

I always used this page to check the main plugins:

Also I keep DRM disabled.

I just just the above and got the same picture in my first post.

I ran Malwarebytes found no problem. I Will do some more scans and shift to my other computer.

Strange my other computer doesn't have the problem.
I will give a restore point a try.

 

[Layback Bear]

Well I went back to basics. I rebooted and the problem went away.
Scans show no little bad guys.

Chris may I ask why you disable those things?

If I don't need it I disable it where possible. I re-enable on an as an when needed basis. Why? Just to keep things working a little faster.

FWIW I used to fiddle with add-ons & plugins a lot but since I just let FF auto-update things I've not had a lick of trouble, so am glad to just let it do its thing.

About the plugins, the Cisco one is for WebRTC, the other one is for playing DRM content, if you don't use any of those features, you can disable them via about:config, in this setting:
media.gmp-provider.enabled (set this to false and restart firefox)

That will remove those plugins if you don't need them.

About the secure conection problems, it seems they are changing some certificates, that's why Firefox tends to do that... seems they will fix it for next releases (FF45 more or less)

 

[Layback Bear]

Thanks folks for all your input.
I personally don't do auto update for anything. That is why I new I shouldn't of had and changes.
Maybe I just caught Firefox in the middle of doing something at there end.

I see your reasoning.

Some of us prefer to create more than one profile - say the default profile plus a couple of tweaked profiles that can be used as and when needed. Along with profile backups that can be restored or elements of them that can be selectively restored in the event of any issues - profile elements can even be selectively restored after a clean install of Firefox if it decides to act up.

In my case, I just manually backup important aspects of the browser, in fact, you can even create a user.js file to quicly restore any settings you changed, even those in about:config.

In case anyone wonders what to backup, here is my list:

key3.db (stored passwords encryption key, in case you use master password)
logins.json (stored passwords)
places.sqlite (bookmarks)
user.js (your customized prefs) or prefs.js (your main changed prefs)
chrome folder with userContent.css and a JPEG (This is just me, I just customized my about:tabs page with a background, adaptive tiles that stretch to almost any screen resolution and other effects)

prefs.js is best for a quick backup and restore, while user.js is good for editing and setting only the prefferences you want restored, for example, here is mine:

user_pref("beacon.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.customizemode.tip0.shown", true);
user_pref("browser.download.lastDir", "D:\\Users\\FerchogtX\\Downloads");
user_pref("browser.download.panel.shown", true);
user_pref("browser.download.useDownloadDir", false);
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:newtab");
user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart", true);
user_pref("browser.taskbar.previews.enable", true);

user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.searches", true);
user_pref("devtools.responsiveUI.currentPreset", "320x480");
user_pref("devtools.responsiveUI.customHeight", 160);
user_pref("devtools.responsiveUI.customWidth", 240);
user_pref("devtools.responsiveUI.rotate", false);
user_pref("devtools.telemetry.tools.opened.version", "{\"DEVTOOLS_TOOLBOX_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_OS_ENUMERATED_PER_USER\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_OS_IS_64_BITS_PER_USER\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_SCREEN_RESOLUTION_ENUMERATED_PER_USER\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_INSPECTOR_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_RULEVIEW_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_OPTIONS_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"42.0\",\"DEVTOOLS_RESPONSIVE_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"43.0.1\",\"DEVTOOLS_COMPUTEDVIEW_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_STYLEEDITOR_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"43.0.4\",\"DEVTOOLS_JSDEBUGGER_OPENED_PER_USER_FLAG\":\"43.0.4\"}");
user_pref("devtools.theme", "dark");
user_pref("devtools.toolbox.host", "window");
user_pref("devtools.toolbox.previousHost", "bottom");
user_pref("devtools.toolbox.selectedTool", "inspector");
user_pref("devtools.toolsidebar-width.inspector", 0);
user_pref("dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode", true);
user_pref("general.smoothScroll", false);
user_pref("layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled", true);
user_pref("layers.offmainthreadcomposition.testing.enabled", true);
user_pref("layout.spellcheckDefault", 0);
user_pref("privacy.donottrackheader.enabled", true);
user_pref("privacy.trackingprotection.enabled", true);

Also, when you want to restore a Profile, first create the folder (either in the default %appdata% location, or a custom one, you can make Firefox to point to that place later with the switch -profilemanager) then you place this files before doing a new profile (so that passwords don't get reseted), then you create your profile, Firefox will start with all your settings restored.

In my case, I also enable experimental features, like Electrolisys, so I just leave this as an example, pretty much.

You might be interested in ConfigFox. Works with FF and variants - just point it at the profile.

Worths a try, thanks for this finding Call!
