Firefox on Windows 11.

I'm getting the above message constantly now, particularly when adding replies. It began a few days (a week?) ago. :frown::?:

It did it just now when adding this topic. I never do get redirected, so I have to click the link, or go find the topic again.

I might have solved it - I had to reply to a Firefox message asking if I would allow pop-ups and redirects from soundonsound.com.

Odd I never had this before. :?

I get it occasionally, I have swapped over to Vivaldi, but there are aspects of that which makes me prefer FF. I used to have Opera as my default browser, but that's gone all pernickety. I have my thoughts on all of this which I have written about ad nauseum here.

But I am also beginning to wonder if they are adding that many extras in browsers, that the more facilities there are, the more the software is likely to go wrong and the K.I.S.S mantra has been ditched long ago.

And furthermore, friends are reporting how their internet isn't as nippy and reliable as it used to be. Yesterday, my next door neighbour, who works from home, had to piggy back onto my broadband (we sup together to so he's trusted) because his broadband had all but packed in
