It worked fine over the last few days -- maybe 6 times. All of a sudden, today, it just quit. The line in the 'tools' box says "Stop Private Browsing"; but it's in light type and NOT A LINK. Also, my header has moved left into 2 lines, instead of all across the top. So there's no more brown flag in public browsing and PURPLE FLAG IN PRIVATE BROWSING..
