This morning, it appears that the general unhappiness of my desktop computer may, in fact, be something more than Mozilla and Microsoft not wanting to play nice. It's been a good, long run -- seven years -- but it's looking like my security software, one that is a notorious resource hog, is becoming too much for the system to run while any foreground application is running as well.
Rats.

Try Linux Mint on that old computer. You can put the operating system on a thumb drive to try it. I'll bet that computer will be fine. Been using Linux since 1999 and any prolems I ever had can be counted on one hand.
On my current personal laptop, I've been lazy and have been using Defender. For browsing, my daily driver has been Firefox for years, with uBlock Origin added on. So far, so good.
I recall a time when I always had a write-protected thumbdrive with ComboFix, an up-to-date version of the Microsoft Safety Scanner, and some other tools, ready to heal client computers. I don't even know where that is...it's been years since I've had to attempt to clean a PC.
I'm running Zorin OS, mostly without glitches. Withe WINE you can run most Microsoft programs.
