I believe that is although admittedly this is the first computer I have had with it and I am not seeing something that specifically say that it is off.

After I have installed Mint now I didn’t install Chrome and just been using Firefox and haven’t had the problem after a few shutdown and restarts since last night which has been longer than any previous time.

Yeah stuff like this does happen . Maybe try out a few other browsers(maybe you’ll like them better)  
So i was wondering, did you try Chromium ? I wonder if it will cash as well? Are you installing all the proprietary Nvidia drivers ? Try this browser . [https://vivaldi.com/](https://vivaldi.com/) I like it alot.

As it turns out I was a bit of an idiot. Everything seems to be working now with the browser I wanted 😁
