Sorry, I was using my Windows 7 desktop in checking the procedure earlier. My problem is with the Windows 10 laptop. I then went through the procedure again and no joy. Still gets redirected to the WWW.Marketplace.com/m mobile site.

No, it has not been resolved. I'm embarrassed to say that I mistakenly selected the status as resolved here after checking the FredMcD procedures on my Windows 7 desktop which didn't have the problem. I since corrected the status of the problem as unresolved after I performed the FredMcD procedures on my Windows 10 laptop. I'm thankful that this option of changing the status was available to me. This mozilla support site is well designed. Charlie
