Browser not recognising a url anymore
For a long time now I had been able to access this webpage using Firefox: https://weather.bom.gov.au/location/r3gx0kn-alexandria . In recent months the browser does not even recognise anything has been typed in. On the other hand, Bing (my back-up browser) does take me to the site. It came to Firefox for a day or two earlier this month but is gone again. Can anyone suggest a fix please?

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in 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.

Hi Fred, Thanks for your help. Before I got around to putting your advice into action I received a notification to restart for a Windows update. After the update was complete the issue was resolved. However, I will keep your advice just in case the issue returns. Once again, many thanks. Bob ps Edge was the other browser.
As long as the problem is gone. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem as this can help others with similar problems.
