Firefox Browser And Answerbank
1 Answers
Here's something weird. Wondering if it is a cache issue or similar and how to fix it.
In a nutshell I use my usual Firefox browser here and all I get is apparently signed in as no name (indicated by the "Welcome Back" with no name afterwards, top left), the threads are all from 2013 and the Latest Posts differ so probably are dated similarly.
If I use Edge or Chrome all seems ok.
Rebooting Windows didn't help solve anything. Although to give a complete picture after I first tried a reboot I became aware of apparent corruption on a flash drive, which Windows seems to have now fixed.
Any thoughts on what is wrong and what to do about it ? I'm about to run some scans but since I do so regularly anyway I'm not expecting there to be many positives (except for SAS which seems to find loads on attached drives (possibly in compressed files ?) and yet never seems to get rid of those).

Whilst rebooting the whole PC didn't help, it turns out that copying the URL for every tab open, to a file; closing them all in turn so Firefox is no longer running, then opening them all again using the saved list; that fixes the issue (for now at least). Still unsure what messed it up but back to normal for now.
Cheers.
