Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Thank you for responding Fred-problem remained in safe mode. Safe mode did disable my 3 extens but problem remained. I even turned each ext off individually in reg mode to be sure. So extens not the cause.

UGH-was hoping

What else can I try?

your time is much appreciated-thanks

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

hello fred

no, the problem is not present in safe mode with network support. what does that mean in finding a fix?

thanks again

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

• Options/Preferences -> General: Performance
  remove checkmark: [ ] "Use recommended performance settings"
  remove checkmark: [ ] "Use hardware acceleration when available"
• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings

Close and restart Firefox after modifying the setting for changes to take effect.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

i successfully disabled hardware acceleration and it solved the issue. Thank you

Am pleased we found a solution-but does disabling acceleration cause any issues while online?

Since this started with 1st Firefox update to v82-is it possible there could be a fix in upcoming updates?

Thank you and Fred so very much.

Michele

Glad to help. Safe Surfing.

thanks again Fred-greatly appreciate your time
