What does setting your username or name mean ? This is frustrating and I'm tempted to go back to Chrome.

When I update and or create my account, I'm asked for a User Name and a Display Name. I have used MGMontague as my user name and Mike as my display name. I keep getting errors referencing that I need to set either my user name or display name. Sorry but what the hell is this error asking ? There is no explanation of what it wants. There is nothing to help you with this sort of thing, and as I mentioned in my question. I will have to leave Firefox and go to another browser as my primary.

Please advise of what this silly thing is asking and how I can make this bitch happy. Christ I have been married for over 40 years, and believe me, I have had to learn how to make bitches happy....

So, help me with this one.

Thanks

Mike

If you mean on this support forum:

If you want the wording below your avatar when you ask a question or post a reply to be Mike, you can put that in as your display name. And if it doesn't work, that's fine, you can let us know you prefer to be called Mike just the way you already did, by ending your post with your name.

If you mean some other login, where is that message coming from?
