I may just have to reinstall Firefox. Between the last update for Firefox (yesterday) and last time I rebooted (today), everything worked just fine. Maybe I just need to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it? Now, I have rebooted about 5 times, each time making just a change or two and reverting the changes upon reboot. I have noticed that occasionally Ubuntu fails to load certain processes on reboot (e.g., dropbox or Compiz Fusion Icon)
