Hmm, there's a giant ad section there: -- <div class="place-ad Ad-module_adContainer__6bb5H placed-ad fluid" id="top" data-position="top" data-google-query-id="CP-zgcnko_oCFaugpwodO1sF7A"><div id="google_ads_iframe_29390238/NYT/crosswords/wordle_0__container__" style="border: 0pt none; display: inline-block; width: 100%; height: auto;"> ... </div></div> -- If you unblock ads, you can see it, and then the scroll bars appear, too. Very sneaky of them. I don't know if there's another option for getting the scroll bars backs.

I'm not seeing that ad and for me the page adjust automatically if I resize to make the content fit, so no need for a scroll bar. ----- If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content. *make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Firefox shows a purple shield instead of a gray shield at the left end of the location/address bar in case Enhanced Tracking Protection is blocking content. *click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection You can check the Web Console for relevant-looking messages about blocked content. *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/smartblock-enhanced-tracking-protection *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/trackers-and-scripts-firefox-blocks-enhanced-track <hr> You can try these steps in case of issues with webpages: You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files. *hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button *press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux) *press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac) Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).

Maybe it was a layout error and they fixed it? Hopefully in time for Gail to play today's puzzle!

Yes, it's been fixed -- apparently at their end, as I didn't do anything at mine. Thanks for weighing in, gentlemen. Gail
