Thanks VistaLover for your suggestions! I haven't tried clearing the browser cache and cookies. I really hate to delete all cookies. It's such a pain to sign in to every site especially with two factor authentication cookie setting, etc. just to re-set the cookies again, and as for creating a new/fresh St52 profile, I have so many tabs that I don't want to lose, I really don't want to try that, but excellent suggestions! Are you having any problems with the v52.9.0 20220326 build of Serpent? I know you're on Vista 32 bit, so not the same 64 bit build as I'm using, just curious.
Thanks for the suggestions about 360 Extreme Explorer. Sounds interesting. Might extend the use of Vista even further for web browsing!
