    FireFox issues, Face smooch, Java problem! HELLP! lol

    ok so this computer is barely 2 wks old and i'm already ready to pitch it out the window. I am having issues with Firefox going reallllly slowly, or 'not responding' when i try to tab between open pages (i'm talkin 2 or 3 pages, not 25 or anything)... cant click anywhere or do anything for uup to a minute or more...

    2nd problem... facebook has this annoying little blue face thing that i have come to understand to be 'FaceSmooch??' I have NNO idea where this came from.. I havent downloaded anything or clicked anyones link... it went away after i cleaned temp internet files and ran AntiSpyware... then it came back... which leads me to my NEXT problem...

    Java. I tried to clean temp files from the toolbar, but it said i needed 'a java environment'.. fine.. i downloaded it and it said i had the right java... but then i cant click certain links in my hotmail to open msgs, or certain links in facebook like 'older posts'... but when i uninstall Java I CAN. So frustrating!! Can anyone help me with any or all of these problems?? Thanks!!

    Knowing what version of Windows you are running would help people help you.

    What version of Firefox?
    Firefox web browser

    Can't assist with Facebook. I don't and wont use it.

    This may help with Java;

    Just Windows if that's the only application you will use it for.
