It's not there. There's no search bar in config with FF 29.0.1 but all the browser info is readily available through the "troubleshooting info" tab. No Script is no longer listed in this current version. As I stated above...if a FF user wants it back...they can download it again. It can be found as an add-on if one looks for it as a downloadable add-on. But it was not moved with this current version when the update was made available. FF always advises the user that they will check to see if the users add-ons are compatible with the newest version before they download it. Apparently, they...in their infinite wisdom...decided No Script was not necessary with this newest version. Remember...the FF version I'm dealing with is 29.0.1. Not every FF user is working with this particular new version. I don't think FF just "blew it away". There's simply no need for it with their current built-in security and the app itself can cause problems if it's not used correctly.

I delete all pups/maleware, your freezing problem is probably unrelated, look in add/remove or uninstall in control panel for junk or viral toolbars etc. and uninstall, for instance anything conduit, like search conduit, or coupon saver uninstall ASAP.

I delete all the pups I find. I haven't had a problem with doing that. I googled to be sure. I think my Ghostery stops it when it's on.

Malwarebytes is no threat to Big Fish games, my wife's computer has had both running for ever it seems with no ill effects. You are doing great with computers, you realise that if there is something you need to know you come and ask.
