Firefox and Tesco Grocery shopping website

invalid@example.com (wiganken) — Sun, 22 Aug 2021 10:59:04 +0000

Win 10 Pro 21H1 19043.1165 I use Firefox v91.0.1 (64-bit) browser to do my Tesco online grocery shopping and my email address (Username) would always be displayed and all I had to do was type in my password. This all changed about a month ago (late July 2021) and my email address box is now blank every time so I have to type it in every time I want to enter the Tesco website. Other websites still show my user IDs for those sites but these are not my email address, they are random usernames....

Move Edge install folder

invalid@example.com (facboy) — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 20:35:02 +0000

at some point i moved my default location for new Apps to a different drive (from the system drive), and now i'd like to change it to another one again. it's easy enough to change the setting for new apps under storage, and i managed to move nearly all the installed apps using their entries under Apps and Features. i can't for the life of me work out how to move edge though, there are all these "Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_92.0.902.78_neutral__8wekyb3d8bbwe" etc dirs under eg...

Windows 10 not recognizing Desktop Internet shortcuts

invalid@example.com (DChristman) — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 23:01:02 +0000

This just started last week. My internet shortcuts no longer work from the Win 10 desktop. For example, I have a shortcut on my desktop for Facebook. However, when I click on it I just get a white page that says.

Firefox Rapid Release or ESR?

invalid@example.com (win10freak) — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 13:03:01 +0000

Ive been using Firefox ESR for some time now as regular user since I know that the ESR versions are mainly for enterprise users for stability purposes. For all here that use Firefox, should I still use the ESR releases? Would the ESR release impact security? On the other hand, the Rapid release version will add some new privacy features starting with v86. So this is why Im asking if I should switch or not to the Rapid or Regular release of Firefox.

keep losing hotmail email - 'server not found'

invalid@example.com (ajaye) — Tue, 17 Aug 2021 02:09:06 +0000

For the past few weeks I've constantly been losing access to my hotmail email account through my laptop. I've tried via both Mozilla and Chrome but get the 'hmm, we're having trouble finding that site' message. If I turn my internet modem off and on I can then get access but only for a day or two, when I will lose it all over again. I can get everywhere else on the internet without a problem. Just checked with my phone (through my wifi--I don't get mobile reception where I live) and that...

Is anyone still using the MailCOPA email client software, especially in networked (multi-user) mode? If you migrated away from it then what did you move to? (Posted from Win10, but use on any Win version is relevant.)

Nordvpn locks up PC

invalid@example.com (huffman) — Sat, 14 Aug 2021 13:36:03 +0000

I had been using Nordvpn for a while and it was either locking up my PC or really slowing it down. I know most VPN's will slow down the internet connections but it had got unbearable. I just had to uninstall Nordvpn and I am no longer locking up and speed of the internet is remarkably faster. Any ideas to use a vpn and not have these issues?"

Restore single-space drop down lists in Firefox 91

invalid@example.com (Judy in Texas) — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 23:05:02 +0000

I was able to turn the version 89 Proton interface into something I could use, and version 91 has broken it again. I really need single-space drop down menus. I really need the icons in the menus and elsewhere to show up well. I have a new Surface Go 2 that I bought to read the digital magazines that I have subscribed to to replace the paper. The fonts for the Firefox commands are very small on this, so I depend on the icons to help me find the links I am looking for. The Go 2 screen is very...

How do I schedule Edge updates?

invalid@example.com (unifex) — Fri, 13 Aug 2021 18:51:02 +0000

After the 21H1 update, one of the first processes to run on my computer is the Edge update. If I deny it internet access, it keeps at it about hourly. Now, nothing about it can be found in start-up, services, and scheduled tasks. How is this update triggered and where should I look to reschedule it to a more convenient time (I like my updates at a fixed time as opposed to at user login, I don't want any updates to distract me when I turn on the computer)? P.S. I don't use Edge at all, I...
