text edit button
I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution in searches, so posting here. On one website I use, a machining forum, when I want to reply to a post, I have no text edit options ie bold, italic, emojis, etc. They are there, but grayed. They have worked previously for me. I don't know what changed like a setting on my part or an upgrade. I currently run Firefox version 99.01. I asked on the forum and other users have the same version and no problems. I can access the page with Chrome and on my phone (Android) and no problem so it is not my account. And on other forums, I ie different websites, I can use those functions. I have removed history cache and cookies, restarted Firefox and restarted the laptop.
Any suggestions?

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Fred, I will work through your suggestions. Thanks. I tried shutting off trackers (clicking the shield) but it did not make a difference.

I had cleared almost everything yesterday but I guess not enough. I checked all boxes in the clear history window, and cleared today, and it is now working as expected.
Thanks for the help.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
