@OLDYELLR , as mentioned by @Datalink , you probably have an extension or something similar that is preventing the "dropdown" on the top right of your posts. Does the dropdown appear when you click on the "gear" at the top right of your posts?. Of course you also need to be logged in to see the edit option in that dropdown.
Here's a list of possible issues that can stop the site from working properly, although you're probably familiar with most of them:
@OLDYELLR if the edit option isn't visible in the drop down menu on the right hand side, that indicates that you have a blocker running, either in your router, if you're running a router, or in your browser. Here's a partial list of the web page feeder sites as shown in Ipvfoo. Even that probably isn't complete due to the filtering that I have running in my router and Chrome browser:

www.youtube.com 172.217.165.14
This list is what survives after the filtering. Some of these I've had to allow in order for the edit function to show up. Don't remember off of the top of my head which one is directly responsible for that function. Every once in a while, Rogers changes the page, so I have to go back in and figure out what the new function source is.

More than likely its a combination of changes to Firefox's protection systems and changes to the web site pages that Lithium has completed.
@OLDYELLR : I'm doing this reply using FF on my Mac Mini. As you know, I normally use Chrome. I have the following comments.
1. When I came to the forum webpage(s) (even before signing in) I was presented with some sort of "Social Media Tracking" pop-up. I simply closed it. I don't encounter this in Chrome.
2. I was able to see the "gear" without any problems with my (fresh) version of FF. I guess you need to look at your extensions, etc, or simply have have a fresh/clean browser available for Rogers Forum. I'm not sure if "Private Window (FF) or Incognito mode (Chrome)" would solve the problem, although I know that's good for checking to see if cookies are the source of an issue?
3. You have up to 2 hours to edit your posts.

But FF works for me. I still suspect some sort of adblocker or extension or add-on or pop-up blocker or other (non-stock) preference setting that's causing your issue.
Have you disabled all your extensions in FF and made sure other settings are not blocking something? I know you prefer FF, but if you run it so that something doesn't come up, that's not really Rogers fault is it?
Perhaps someone else reading this thread can give FF a try to see if they can see the "gear" (to edit posts or other functionality)
