Last time I deleted Firefox completely. That's why I have gone through and cleaned the computer. I will have a go tomorrow and report back.

No problem.

Hallmark - I was offered an update yesterday but declined it for now.  Are you saying the new version is not the one that has caused problems?

I've never had any that caused problems.

There'll be another update along soon, Firefox seems to do almost daily updates these days  ::) We can only hope they'll get it right eventually . . .

Although I like Firefox a lot I am finding it impossible to use it for some web sites lately because it is so 'secure', and have started using Chrome more often. However, I have not (so far) experienced the problems you describe. Do you use 'Firefox Sync' ? That stores your favourites and history somewhere in the 'cloud' so they should be recoverable if you lose them on your system.

59.0.3 is the current latest version of Firefox, mind you this was as a result of the latest Windows 10 April update!

OK, so I've had another notice of the Firefox update to 59.0.3 but I haven't had the latest Windows 10 update yet.  ::)  If Firefox is updating because of the Windows 10 update, what is the point in updating Firefox before Windows 10?

Firefox has nothing to do with Windows....

I know, but Brian (Calverley Lad) said:

which I took to mean that because of a Windows update, Firefox had to change something and as I've not yet had the Windows update, why do I need the Firefox update?
