Help!

Do not want to refresh or reset or reload Firefox - too much work.

Worked fine when I closed computer last night. Cannot access Outlook.com, while two other mail accounts (that are fed from OL) are working.

Thank you.

Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes). If the problem goes away, that tells us one thing. If it does not, that tells us something else.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or it could be Hardware Acceleration. How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.

If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.

Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.

Fred,

I took a chance and disabled two addons. I got into mail. I enabled one (by matter of necessity/wish & hope). Still working.

Can it really be that simple? Weirder than weird.

Thank you.

Btw, I disabled Scroll To Top.

I need to find a replacement, pronto.

Thank you.
