Hello Again that white stripe at the top of the screen is back this PM: I refreshed firefox yesterday and it solved until now: have carried out the dirty dozen: updated FF yes, clear cache yes etc.

Can anyone help me in layman terms: I checked safari and it was OK there. would prefer FF : I use (have done so since its inception) DuckDuckGo as my home page .

Thank you

I'd say some add-on is doing it. Try to turn it off one by one and reload this page.

And seriously: Do NOT use similar-purposed blocker(s) along with uBlock Origin: this will cripple uBO's ability to defuse anti-blocker mechanisms and its ability to minimize likelihood of site breakage. (i.e. Ad-Blocker Pro).

Brilliant. You are right on the money TyDraniu:!

I wish I had read this before I banged my face against the screen last evening until a tiny light went on; I then re-started in Safe Mode and swapped extension on and off: Ad Blocker Pro and Plus are now disabled and the DREADED white ribbon of hell is gone.

Thank you so much for the confirmation and the insight/info re: uBO needing to run on its own. It has been one of the best performers.

Cheers
