    Try performing a System Restore to a few days before all this began.

    Also, do you still have the warranty papers or the receipt? (just in case)

      i did a system restore  but it didnt change the problem any.. i uninstalled and reinstalled firefox but the problem came back.. any thing else i can try cuz this is rediculous for owning the computer for like 2 weeks.

      Yes, get it repaired for free.

      This would avoid the risk of voiding the warranty.
