How Firefox Quantum looks is a disaster in my opinion (windows 10 style and smartphone style, two poverty design horrors, in one go), so look here:
To get rid of the horrific sharp rectangular edges in Firefox Quantum, see this page (github.com).
However, i have this issue: https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-au ... /issues/11

i Fixed My Missing Network Computer, from this link:

How I Fixed My Missing Network & Homegroup Computers (tenforums.com)

:thup:

My one laptop in the network is windows 10 now (since 2 days), and that caused the issue: one windows 7 pc disappeared from the network. On that PC i applied the steps from the first post in that link.

Note: later i noticed that "Allow Remote Assistance connections t this computer" (in System Properties > tab Remote) had been checked ON, which i always have been making sure to UNCHECK. Besides, on the auto-updated Windows 10 desktop, the same setting was checked ON as well. I unchecked it on both computers.
