Launch Emergency Distress Beacon

Are you better-equipped for tech support than me? Let's find out. I've got two problems with Firefox that Internet Explorer solves. Don't know why, don't know how - and I'd RATHER not be using something as vulnerable as IE.

1) When I look at Myra's Myspace page (not anyone else's, and it doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not), it's like there's a glass wall between me and any links - nothing is active. I click ANYWHERE, and I'm launching that bogus crapware Antivirus XP popup window.

2) I can't look at Adobe Flash videos in Firefox any more. Have no idea what minor update did it, but suddenly comedycentral.com is telling me to download it. I download it, install it - and nothing happens. I download the UNINSTALLER, get rid of it, re-install it - and nothing happens. And it IS the Opera/Netscape version I'm downloading. When I download the IE version, IE auto-detects the download and handles it inside the freakin' BROWSER window. What's up with IE out-cooling FF?

I'll take questions here, so that more people get more information. Any clues, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
