I cannot seem to find anything on this forum, nor on my device, that explains what this shield is and what setting it sits under in Windows Security. I am not aware of a setting that I have turned off intentionally. I cannot find a setting for this on my device.Out of precaution, I have run full scans, offline scans, quick scans, custom

  2. 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)):

    • Also: please tell us what AV/AM/firewall programs are you running on this system?

    Thanks,

    That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.
