Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.

That made it all good in Window Safe mode, but not a regular startup so I removed that newly updated MalwareBytes program and it looks like I am back in the saddle. I am posting this from Firefox. Thank you.
That was very good work. Well done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.
