What do you see if you examine user accounts with lusrmgr.msc?

@TechTango My settings do save history, etc. Following shows exactly how the sidebar button setting is no longer persistent between sessions in FF 138.

@Alex5723 if you examine the page carefully you will notice that Raymond Chen categorized this blog post as “History”.

@TechTango Maybe I wasn’t clearly explaining the issue.  When I say that it doesn’t display history what I mean is that clicking the sidebar button on the toolbar always brings up the sidebar displaying bookmarks instead of history.  The choice to display history in the sidebar when it is opened by the toolbar button does not persist between firefox sessions.

I use the Sidebar button on the toolbar rather than the main menu or the keyboard.

The point is that the preference for displaying history or bookmarks in the sidebar is no longer persistent between starts of Firefox. It doesn’t matter how the sidebar is opened. Open the sidebar and set it to display history close the sidebar and exit Firefox. Start Firefox and open the sidebar. It should display history but it doesn’t.

“setup to Setup for work or school…”

“Then click on Domain join instead..”

Maybe I’m just behind the times.  It would never occur to me to do anything regarding joining a domain with respect to a standalone system!

Its hard not to believe that this misleading procedure from Microsoft isn’t intended to push users into a Microsoft Account.

Thanks for confirming that the inexplicable inetpub folder creation that some of us have seen does have a purpose even though Microsoft’s belated caution to not delete the folder provides no reasonable rationale for leaving it.

Back in the day we used to say that they should have named it the Compaq Transportable.

Anything that can be done to avoid dealing with the IRS is a step in the right direction!  One year IRS made a mistake processing my return and refunded an improperly calculated and understated amount.  It took MONTHS to get the problem corrected and to receive the amount due to me.  During that time IRS even suggested that I should file an amended return even though my return was correct as filed and they were the ones that made the mistake!

Hopefully, the problem is resolved.  Unfortunately, none of the images posted in #2763961  give any visibility into the identification and location of AdobeGCClient.exe.

The full post on this topic included “Yes, you will need to look for this piece of paper mailed to you in early January or log into your online IRS account to obtain it each year.”

Depending on how an individual obtains an IPPIN there may not be an annual mailing.

Refer to https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin which contains (highlights added):

So creating an account with the IRS and annually obtaining a new IPPIN online seems to me to provide the highest level of protection available.

 

I think you are right about the UAC prompt. My settings allow for updating when FF is not running and I don’t see a UAC prompt when updates are installed. Have you considered testing to see if allowing background updates has any effect? Finally, it is normal for the maintenance service to have a manual start type.

So far, FF updates have behaved properly for me.  Are you using the Mozilla Maintenance Service in your installation?
