Mozilla sent Firefox Version 126.0 to the Release Channel. ESR was updated to Version 115.11.0.

The update includes sixteen security updates of which two (2) are rated high, nine (9) are rated moderate, and five (5) are rated low.

New

• The Copy Without Site Tracking option can now remove parameters from nested URLs. It also includes expanded support for blocking over 300 tracking parameters from copied links, including those from major shopping websites. Keep those trackers away when sharing links!
• Catalan is now available in Firefox Translations.
• Enabled AV1 hardware decode acceleration on macOS for M3 Macs.
• Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports," "business," and "travel". This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP addresses as potentially identifying metadata. No profiling will be performed, and no data will be shared with third parties.  (read more)
  

Changed

• The URL Paste Suggestion feature added in Fx125 was temporarily disabled while the team investigates a potential performance issue. The feature will be re-enabled in a future release once the performance issue is addressed.
  

Update: To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu, then pick "About Firefox".  Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu.  For non-English versions, Fully Localized Versions are available for download.

Makes sense to turn off the auto startup. Apps are easy enough to access via the start menu.

I've been using this for a month, and I like it. I, however, turned off the auto startup.

From Microsoft's free PC optimizer makes it easier to free up storage space:

QuoteMicrosoft has released a new version of its free Windows tuning tool, dubbed PC Manager.

Version 3.9.3.0's main new feature is the improved "Files Cleanup" feature, as the US IT news portal Windowslatest reports. This is designed to give you more free space on your Windows computer quickly and easily. The new "Files Cleanup" cleans up downloaded files, searches for particularly large files, and removes duplicate files.

Microsoft's PC Manager tool also brings Dark Mode to the app. There are also a number of detailed improvements to the interface as well as a revised desktop toolbar, which now integrates the Bing search.

Additional information in the article as well as How to use Microsoft's free PC Manager for a digital spring cleaning.

Personally, whether it be this tool or making other changes, I suggest creating a System Restore point first.

You are very welcome, Ron.

 
 Thanks DR M i will leave that alone.
 

This is something relevant:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Windows-10-Pro-21H1-Core-Isolation-issues-with-latest-Intel-HD/td-p/1320322

It seems that the solution is to just leave the Core Isolation feature disabled.

Hi, Ron.

I have exactly the same thing in my Windows 10 computer, so the Core Isolation feature is disabled.

Even when I went to the Intel's site to download the most recent compatible drivers for my system, the result was that there is no supported driver available for my system.

Also, Windows determined that the best drivers for this device are already installed.

So, I left it as is, and I have no problem at all. I would recommend you to do the same.

If someone else from the Forum has a different suggestion, I'm sure they will tell us.

 Looking at the security section to see if every thing was turned on. Found Core Isolation turned off because of  Incompatible Drivers.
There are 3 seperat drivers listed under "Memory Integrity- Incompatible drivers" and i don't know what to do?
