What is up with Source Linker, lately? It freezes or does weird things like this. All I did was try to move a name to the proper person. It's really frustrating. I use Firefox because I don't care for Google seeing everything I do if I can help it, and Edge is a holy terror.

    Hi Try doing this: on all your firefox, google etc. internet browser, press the 3 dots on the top right of your screen press the tools button point to safety select delete browsing history choose the type - old data and files to remove, then select delete, Control H to clear data.

    Firefox: settings, privacy and security, clear cookies. For caches scroll further down deleting cookies etc.

    Chrome: more tools, clear browsing data, reset your cookies? yes

    Windows 10 version go into three dots at right of screen, more tools clear browsing data

    go into windows logo at bottom left of your screen start, settings, update and security windows 10 version see optional update available for 27H1 download viruses and threat protection.

    All this should give your computer a clean and allow it to work better. Hope this helps.

    CCleaner clears history, cookies, and cache every morning when I start up. Do I clear them every time I load a new page? Annoying, when it happens. A lot of times, I can't standardize the info when I add it. I have to do it after I've returned to family tree, too.
