I opened in the afternoon with this, and there are several lessons to be learned.<\/p>\n

I cannot find session manager, none of the controls seem to work, it Windows 8\u2019s me on screen size, they have gone insane.  I can\u2019t restore yesterday.<\/p>\n

Anyone know anything about this?  Is there an instruction set?  Are they all lock up in a madhouse? <\/p>\n

Firefox has gone mad 
I hadn’t heard about Firefox breaking as spectacularly as all that (and I’m writing this on Firefox 39.0 under Windows 7, with no problem at all). But I have been seeing complaints on Windows blogs that Windows 10 has made it harder to set Firefox as your default browser.

I expect we will soon see more problem reports about Firefox, because Mozilla has announced that beginning with version 41, all add-ons for Firefox must be signed. I don’t know why — is someone publishing malware add-ons? — but I have written some add-ons of my own, so I probably won’t upgrade soon.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t find session manager, and it jumps to full screen without my telling it to.  When in full screen the only way out is the Windows key; nothing in Firefox shows a way off that screen.  Maybe my computer has gone mad? But it\u2019s Windows 7, and nothing else is crazy.<\/p>\n

Back from medical.  Tired.  But I think Firefox has gone insane.  Someone enlighten me?<\/p>\n

There were many lessons to be learned. I\u2019ll start with them tomorrow. The problem was not Firefox. The lessons were \u2013 well, perhaps interesting.  Tomorrow.<\/p>\n
