Hardware settings mess up Chrome and Firefox

Two subscribers are having peculiar browser issues.

In one case, Firefox is inexplicably slow on a very fast PC; in the second case, the mouse pointer disappears from time to time in Chrome and Firefox — and there’s no obvious pattern.

Oddly, the solutions to both problems lie in totally opposite applications of the same browser setting!

To understand what’s going on, and to check your Chrome and Firefox hardware settings, see my column in the latest AskWoody Plus newsletter.
