Q. I know it is recommended to use a different browser for searches, so I started using Firefox. However, the favorites disappear every time I log off. I seem to remember there being something we had to do in order for the favorites to stay there, but I don’t remember what to do.
A. Set up a Firefox account, using your WLS email address. When you log into your VDI session, open Firefox, log in, and right-click to the right of the address bar to add your Bookmarks Menu. Once that’s done, you can add and follow bookmarks to your heart’s content.
