Windows 10: KB 5033375

My PC has automatically downloaded and installed three versions of update KB 5033375 and am wondering if these are all different iterations and necessary. First time I've seen this. Bob-ME.

New FF - passwords

Hi:

If that setting is already enabled, then I suggest as the next troubleshooting step might be Mozilla Safe Mode (not to be confused with Windows Safe Mode)):

Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode | Firefox Help

• Please report back and let us know the outcome, as it will dictate the next steps.
• Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

Thanks,
MM
