Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

All too often I am destroying work and recordings when I accidentally click to close a window and shut down several operations. Personally, I would prefer either a double click to close a window or a two step operation to do so.

Now that I see some instruction on how to put this back to what it used to be (win XP?) I will probably not frighten my cat so much when I break out using my Microsoft Vocabulary.
