What version of Firefox are you using? I've seen some changes made to Firefox but nothing that drastic. I'm just curious if maybe I'm still running a older not affected version. My reason for asking. I'm volunteer on staff at a social site. I have several accounts there. Firefox, especially giving the addons it has, is the best option for me to use to have multiple profiles open at one time. Plus, I don't need the email feature for that either. If something ugly and nasty is coming, I need to start figuring out what I can do to work around this or something else to use. Dale :-) :-)
