dfoulkes, I intended to try Safe mode today but early users of the latest build 15014 of Windows 10 report problems with it so I'll wait on that. Meanwhile, I can use either Yahoo or the Start Search option you turned me onto. Thanks again!

Well, I couldn't resist trying Safe Mode and that was a bad mistake., It is broken badly in Insiders Preview Build 15014 and took me 25 minutes to work my way back to a normal mode. I've reported it to our Microsoft contact.

Were you trying Windows Safe Mode or Mozilla Safe Mode because our recommendation was for the latter.

ikrar,
Firefox' "Safe Mode" does more than that, automatically.
No need to manually disable the extensions.
Please ref; the KB article... > http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode

&, I believe that df did recommend an OS reboot into safe mode as a test, albeit a tad difficult with WIN 10?

Since I'm on Win7... forever :-" ... what part of a Win10 safe-mode function is so messed up... have you done one yet?

Yes, dfoulkes, I did a FF Safe Mode early on. My Win 10 Beta Build Safe Mode appears to be working but within a few seconds of the Desktop appearing, it starts flashing on and off every 2 or 3 seconds and you can't do anything with the mouse or keyboard. A hard reset just starts back up the same way. I finally used a Macrium Reflect rescue disk to recover. Quite a few other testers are having the same problem.

df,
If you are asking me this "have you done one yet?"
Do not take my UA as gospel.
I too, am sticking with WIN 7. ( I can dual boot to WIN 10, if required.)

& CB, I've always found it to be a tad quicker & easier to visit their site for any probs with WIN 10.
