First, consider scanning your system for malware; see below.
Second, Firefox is listed in Add or Remove programs as "Mozilla Firefox". See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/uninstalling+Firefox https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
Malware Install, update and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode", but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.)

Update Shockwave for Director: your ver. 11.0; current ver. 11.5.7.609 (important security update released 2010-05-11; see http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-12.html NOTE: this is not the same as Shockwave Flash; this installs the Shockwave Player. SAVE the installer to your hard drive (Desktop is a good place so you can find it). When the download is complete, exit Firefox (File > Exit), locate and double-click in the installer you just downloaded, let the install complete. IMPORTANT: I have found it wise to always restart your system after doing anything with Adobe products. See: Installing Shockwave
