I don't remember. Running VMS on a VAX, I haven't rebooted since the Bush (senior) administration.

Funny you should say that, that's exactly why mine got kicked back overnight.

I've been using Free Fillable Forms for a few years now with Firefox and haven't had any issues. And this is running on FreeBSD with Ublock Origin installed. Yeah, each year I'm a bit surprised it still works, but I'll take my wins however I can.
