| 1420954 | 2016-05-29 03:35:00 | Bloody FF has now taken over how I view a new tab when I click on it. How do I get back to a blank page, or just Google search? |

| 1420957 | 2016-05-29 04:34:00 | Windows 10/Defender causes some software to take ages to launch because for some unknown reason it tries to scan the file before loading it, the CPU loading goes up to 48%. You can overcome this by exempting the folder containing the slow loading file in Defender. One of my programs Web Realizer would take over a minute to load, now takes a few seconds. Another slow one was Foxit reader 7. I don't use FF so I don't know if it is effected by Defender. I have now disabled Defender and installed Avira. | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1420962 | 2016-06-02 06:22:00 | For the last decade plus I have found Firefox supreme ! Does what I want. I sometimes post links to other people who may be interested and find Chrome very deficient. Nevertheless all browsers have their use. When I have read my allowed 10 articles a month of the New York Times, I switch to Internet Explorer or Edge, then after ten more, switch to Chrome, then after ten more switch to Duckduckgo ......... ain't life on the web grand !!! ;-) | Misty (368) | ||
