#17573 — Firefox: 152.0.4 missing part of the numbers on one website game.

I'm using Firefox: 152.0.4 to play a Sudoku game.   I play this every day and today it's 
screwed up.   And I just got updated to .4 this morning before playing...get where I'm 
heading with this train of thought?

https://postimg.cc/hQVDkg7Z
All of those black squares should have white numbers in them.  They only show a small lines.

https://zone.msn.com/en/games/dailysudoku
Click 'play'
then pick today's date
then pick a number on the left, like '2'.   You should see all the black boxes have 2's in 
them.

I tried it with edge and had no issues there.

Off-topic. That's why one should disable
automatic delta update via policies.json!! :)

I don't play Sudoku.

What is the URL of that Sudoku web-game?

Maybe it's that website's problem. Let
us try it. :)

Sorry. I didn't attend to that line...
spanning problem.

I thought MSN Gaming Zone is dead. I guess not.

But.. BUT Internet Hearts is gone. Too bad!!

I think PlayOK is more interesting.

This has absolutely nothing to do with delta updates, that is your 
private obsession with no foundation in reality.

The Microsoft Gaming Zone has played silly games with browsers before (a 
very long time ago), they set things up so that it would only work in 
Internet Exploder and not Netscape.  That was deliberate, this sounds 
like a not unwelcome accident.

Sorry, it's working.  I cleared the cache and all seems to work now.  Things like that 
shouldn't happen.

Avoiding automatic delta updates is still
a good measure. :)

Delta updates are just like sexual harrassment. ;)

Ah, the joys of trying to get scripts and cached pages to cooperate.

You could configure Firefox to purge all locally cached data (except
passwords) on its exit.  No cached pages, or other website-oriented
data, survives between web sessions.  That also means, however, no
surviving cookies or DOM storage to store login credentials, so you have
to login everytime (unless you use the Password Manager, or an add-on
for login fill-in, like Bitwarden).

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-browsing-search-download-history-firefox#w_how-do-i-make-firefox-clear-my-history-automatically

Of course, if you're the type of user that leaves the web browser loaded
all the time, the purge-on-exit option is ineffective.

With a master password.
