Glad to hear your loss didn't wipe you out, jtr. $260k is nothing to sneeze at; I would not have been able to withstand such a loss. I haven't earned much in life, but have been nurturing and taking care of the small nest egg with a lot of care.

Thanks. Yes, have had good experience with Asus stuff generally. Also, the MB had the features / ports I wanted.

So sorry to hear this jtr. I hope everything works out ok for you. Scams are happening everywhere. Some extended family got sucked into one and lost some money. My wife wanted to get into the same thing, I told her it smelled of a scam and fortunately, she listened. The old are getting conned...

Thanks Merc for helping with my SF pw rest. This will be my last post on this issue (for now anyway). Summary: I googled and found this problem goes all the way back to 2012! Mozilla support forums have many guys cribbing about this. Many suggestions are given; I tried them, but none worked...

Thanks Handy. I got the pw reset email, but when I clicked on the link, it went to SF where the page said "Oops! Something went wrong. Request pw reset again" or some such. So I did, and it worked this time.

How do I create a fresh user account? Just create a new user? I uninstalled as much as I could; it keeps insisting a reinstall will fix things. After uninstall, I deleted most Registry entries that had Firefox or Mozilla in their names. Re-installed. Mixed results. SF loaded fast. Other...

This started happening recently. I'll try a complete uninstall of FF and full re-install. For DNS over HTTPS, I even set it to Off, made no difference. Any time it needs to look up is when it chokes. For info, CPU is a Ryzen 9 5900x 12 core, 64GB of RAM.

32 secs to load ARS Technica. It spends most of the time "Looking up ARS Technica.... Chrome loads ARS in under 1 sec. Same PC.

There's a gazillion different meds for BP; what suits one person won't suit another, that's why. Weight loss helps in numerous ways, but is so hard to achieve.

Didn't make any difference, Merc. About 15 seconds to load SF. If I come back to SF from another website, it loads in a couple of seconds. Don't know if this is a clue. Same behavior with all other websites.

Maybe an update did it, but for the past few weeks FF has been extremely slow. Takes minutes to load a web page. Chrome does it in under a second. I uninstalled and re-installed but that didn't help; though it did say it is preserving my settings, bookmarks etc. I don't remember seeing an option...

So sorry to hear, Handy. I wish your cat the best. Having had cats ourselves and having lost them, I feel the pain. We miss them terribly, but we couldn't travel much when we had them. So despite yearning for them, we have steeled ourselves to not adopt. Co-incidentally, we've been traveling a...
