Billy, |

Thanks. That helped. I actually use firefox-bin most of the time, |
| 29 |
but I also have firefox on the system. Running firefox instead of |
| 30 |
firefox-bin works fine on the site I was having trouble with. |

I'm not sure I'm up for creating completely separate, chrooted |
| 33 |
environments. I barely understand the one I'm using without creatign |
| 34 |
two! I think I'm run both version of Firefox for a while and see it I |
| 35 |
can limp along this way for now. |

Thanks for helping me see it work! |
