This is only a recent problem in the last three or four days but when I respond to a REPLY email or compose a new email neither the return address will appear under FireFox nor will address lookup appear. The list of email addresses cannot be found under this product BUT is found instantly under Internet Explorer. Do you have a work-around?

Firefox Mozilla Toolbar 'Help' > 'Firefox Help' > lower right side of page displays link to Plugin Update review....

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
