Thank you, Flood and Bernie, for your interst. First: as I mentioned in my message, I have tried setting browser to Firefox, then to internet explorer, then to Chrome. However as I said the problem persists. It seems to make no difference which browser I set to default. I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2019, I am not sure what you mean by ‘Protection-add-on version’.. I havn’t got a FF profile. I never have had. I have also posted a question about this problem on the FF support forum, the only advise was to check profiles, as mentioned in my original message. Up until the recent update to version 72 everything worked fine. No master password is used or set. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
