My Earthlink email will not scroll. I have tried talking to Earthlink, but they say it is probably a browser problem. Here is my conversation with them, so that I don't have to re-type everything.

Hello there! Welcome to EarthLink, I'm Ether, your virtual assistant, how can I help you today? Tue 12:23 PM Existing Customer Tue 12:23 PM To help verify your account, I’ll need to send a one-time code to a phone number or email associated with your EarthLink account. Please enter your phone number or email address. Tue 12:23 PM I have gone through this 3 times with support, and every time, when you tell me to logoff and log back on, it also closes the chat, so I keep having to start over. Can I speak to an actual person? Tue 12:26 PM It looks like you didn't provide a phone number or email address. Without those we won't be able to verify your account. If you'd like to try entering a phone or email to search for your account, do so now. Otherwise, you can select skip verification.

My Earthlink email will not scroll. Every time you tell me to logoff and log back on, it closes the Chat function, and I have to start all over. May I speak to an actual person? Tue 12:29 PM I’m sorry you’ve had to repeat yourself—that’s definitely not ideal. I understand your EarthLink email won’t scroll, and logging off/on keeps ending the chat.

Let’s try to fix this without logging you out:

1) Are you unable to scroll in your inbox list, in an individual email, or both? 2) Does the scroll bar appear at all, or is it there but just not moving?

If you’d rather not troubleshoot further, I can connect you with a live agent. Just let me know if you want to continue here or go straight to an agent. A live agent will be connected shortly. As a reminder, please do not send any confidential information in this chat. Tue 12:29 PM Live agent Tue 12:30 PM Hi! Thanks for contacting EarthLink, you’re chatting with Thola.

When I open my Earthlink email in Firefox there is a box at the top that says "Enhanced by Google" and the screen won't scroll. I talked to Earthlink support and they said it's a Firefox problem

Up until today, I could open my web pages with vpn on uninterrupted, but todayI suddenly have to turn vpn off in order to open even my commonly used sites; what's up with that?

I do not like the clutter of a score of articles chosen by AI on my home page. I only want a blank page the same shade of green I had before with the shortcuts I actually use. Your sponsors may give you money, but I'm not clicking on any except to get rid of them.

How can I get my clean hompage back?

I have started receiving a secure connection failed error message for a portal log-in website that worked fine for the past 6-7 months (see attached document). Other people in my group use Firefox and Bitdefender to access the portal and none of them are having this issue.

I originally believed the problem to be my anti-virus (Bitdefender) and worked with them to resolve the problems. After trying various solutions including clearing my cache, using private mode and turning off different components of their software, Bitdefender believes the problem is with my browser setting and not their software. I also tried accessing the portal using Chrome in both regular and incognito modes and cannot access the site which would seem to rule out the problem being a Firefox browser problem but contacting Firefox support seems to be the next logical step.

I have been to the Firefox FAQ and saw similar problems with potential solutions - DNS over HTTPS, TLSKEYLOGGING issues, add-on exceptions - none of which worked. I have the most recent version of Firefox and am running Windows 11 home version.

Sometimes if I hit refresh after receiving the error message, the browser will try to connect and I will get a server time out message. If I keep hitting "try again", sometimes the portal log-in screen will appear and allow me to log-in. The key word is "sometimes" since often I just keep getting the server time out message.

Any ideas for me to try from this forum?

Running Windows 11 x-64. Mozilla Firefox splash screen does not load. Even after one hour, I can still see twelve, blank "boxes". There is a continuous, left-to-right, vertical, "windscreen-wiper-like" movement within each of the twelve boxes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla Firefox, including a standalone installation. Sadly: this has not changed matters. Please see attached screenshot. Regards and thanks.

I have completely cleared relevant history. I am in the UK, so only use Amazon UK. Yet, even within a day of removing all trace of amazon.com, it shows up again in the list of top sites on a blank tab's address bar suggestions. (.com is not in bookmarks, shortcuts, or recent searches, which are the only other selections)

The only explanation I have for this is that amazon.co.uk is making back-end calls to amazon.com and polluting whatever mechanism is used for this list – even though the browsing history as I can see and manage it does not include any references to amazon.com whatsoever.

Please, either:

• tell me how to get the browsing history as shown in the new tab's suggestions to respect the browsing history as recorded and manageable, or
• tell me how I can have control to blacklist certain sites that contaminate the list despite there being no record of them within my browsing history

The only other detail that may play into this; the first time this appeared out of nowhere I suspect was also the point at which the Suggestions from sponsors magically appeared in settings, and was on by default. Ever since then, getting rid of amazon.com has been a Sisyphean struggle, as though unchecking the sponsors option were being ignored.

Lost my original FF profile when I created a new 2nd profile. Opened FF. clicked profile icon. in drop down menu, I clicked on " create new profile". Set color, skipped most of the rest,then "set default browser to Firefox" using the button in FF dialog box, NOt Windows settings. Found and clicked on box " choose profile at startup". CLosed all instances of FF. Opened FF, box saying choose profile does not show my original profile, only the new one.

Help? I need to get back to my original profile, and keep the new one as choice at startup. How do I do this?

I got a pop-up that said I needed to upgrade my Firefox so I clicked on (Firefox ESR-64Bit) and lost my one and only profile in Firefox. HELP I need it back it has all my passwords and bookmarks
