No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Might want to run malwarebytes, tiggy.

okay...

Go to Firefox - Preferences, Advanced

and look over the connection settings. See if there is anything funky there (are you connecting through a proxy or anything weird?)

tiggy, I found this while trying to google your problem:

you might need to get rid of your temp files in Firefox also.

maybe you should create a new firefox profile and try to surf through the new profile and see if that helps.

ran Malwarebytes when i first started having trouble. it found absolutely nothing. neither is my virus scan.

how do i create a new firefox profile? i dumped my internet files a week or so ago and just did my cookies again and i'm still getting the same thing. youtube stopped working first and then all of a sudden yahoo followed right along. though i've been having issues with yahoo's mail for a few weeks now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm going to sell an old computer, and had bookmarked this old post about how to really clean it up: Jon B. "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Jan 8, 2009 8:21:38 am PST But I can't imagine I have anything on there that is actually dangerous to share. I guess what I'm really asking is, do I hafta? Reformatting already feels scary to me....

Relatedly, I found the Office 2003 disks I bought for that computer -- should I sell them with the computer, or can I load it onto my new computer? I guess my question is, is the program tied to me or to the machine?

Crap -- now I can't find the AC adapter part of the power cord, although I have multiple ones of the other part. Is it at all possible that my current computer (bought at Best Buy or somewhere) came without one?
