What version of Firefox are you using? I've seen some changes made to |
29 |
Firefox but nothing that drastic. I'm just curious if maybe I'm still |
30 |
running a older not affected version. |

|
32 |
My reason for asking. I'm volunteer on staff at a social site. I have |
33 |
several accounts there. Firefox, especially giving the addons it has, |
34 |
is the best option for me to use to have multiple profiles open at one |
35 |
time. Plus, I don't need the email feature for that either. If |
36 |
something ugly and nasty is coming, I need to start figuring out what I |
37 |
can do to work around this or something else to use. |
