rebooted, and the thumbnails reappeared. And links in email started

rebooted. Sigh.
Dick,
I'm glad a reboot fixed it but thought that logging out and back in
would do
the trick. After all, setting a browser as the default should be up
to the
browser and not the system. But, guess that's not the case.
I didn't think to try logging out and back in. If it ever happens
again, I'll try to remember to try that.
It did happen again, and logging out and back in didn't help. But the
default browser remains Firefox. I looked at the Firefox
(hamburger)-Settings page. Pretty much at the top is a check box for
"Always check to see if Firefox is your default browser". Not only is it
checked, but it can't be unchecked. Anybody know why that is?
