When I select "Show Cookies" on the Options/Privacy tab the dialog won't display. there is a brief flash of what should be the dialog and then a red international "no" symbol. What is causing this? Do I have a virus?

Hi,

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.

Uninstalling Toolbars

Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. Options > Advanced. All these settings/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme or hardware acceleration is causing issues.
