Which problem? You have eliminated all quoting from a post which is over
a month old and which the OP apparently found a solution for:

You should post your own symptom description in a new thread
with a new more descriptive Subject.

BTW it sounds as if there is lot more to your symptom description
that you already know but aren't disclosing. E.g. if you know that
the symptom can be avoided using No Add-ons mode, then the
next step would be systematically testing by excluding sets of
add-ons using the Manage Add-ons tool. Etc.


Good luck
