   UPDATE.  TB was still insisting to drop ngs (usually the last     
   ones I would write to).  Today, it failed completely - would     
   load - citing an error - and only offering to Quit or Restart     
   and send an error report to Mozilla.   
      
   That was version 68.0.7 32bit.   Meanwhile, I uninstalled     
   that, and installed the most recent: 78.x  32bit.   But the     
   same thing happened - it would fail to load.   
      
   Uninstalled that and installed the 64bit version. Partial     
   success.  I was able to send a message or two, but the overall     
   performance was terrible and sluggish - almost using the     
   entire 4GB ram that I had.   
      
   The next time I went to load the program - fail, and it only     
   offered to Quit/Restart and send an error report.   
      
   I think TB on that particular system and its original     
   collection of ngs - is toast.
