Hello,

There is a website forum that I visit daily, https://www.expatforum.com/expats/mexico-expat-forum-expats-living-mexico/. After I've authenticated, the hyperlinks for the list of topics used to be highlighted until I clicked through to digest the subject. Starting a month or two ago, the highlighting of new or updated topics ceased (except for one day, only).

A Firefox update, an undone or new setting, website change?

Thanks for your support,

Don

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
