AOLattachments not opening
Since about 2 weeks ago many AOL attachments are not opening (pdf.s are but others eg Word not). I have read thru' previous messages on this (in 2021) but turning off enhanced tracking has not fixed it. My attachments open in Edge and Chrome. Like others I would like to stay with Firefox but cannot live with this problem. Help please

- How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
If there is still a problem,
Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
While you are in Troubleshoot(Safe) mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

It is under Settings.
Found Hardware acceleration in Performance (I do not have Options in Settings) and disabled it. Has not solved problem, cannot open doc. and docx file attachments?
Any other suggestions please

Since you created a new thread then probably best is to continue there, so I will lock this thread.
