Why can't I open the draft?

I can see that the email I drafted is in "Drafts" - but cannot open the draft to work on it. What pops up is "compose" new message . This is after I followed instructions to "fix slowness". Infuriating, I need it now, and I don't see any "help" to fix it.

FF is a browser not a email program. So what email are you using.

Separate Security Issue, please update your Flash 21.0 r0 by removing it with this tool : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html If you use it Reinstall with Flash Player Version: 31.0.0.108 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Hi, being 10 versions of something that needs to be updated after every release as there is 100's of ways to attack it 1 day later is not a good sign.

I would gather this is old. You may want to switch to the Extended Release Version and suggest you do so.

Firefox Extended Release Version : Firefox ESR does not come with the latest features but it has the latest security and stability fixes.

If do please :

Please Find what ever drivers you can for your Video Card. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html There are a lot of errors, this could also be the reason and not a Firefox issue or it is noticeable because of Firefox.
