Worked like a charm. Thanks so much!

I have had problems with paypal on firefox AND Chrome. I've cleared the cookies on both numerous times. It does not solve the problem. It started on Chrome, so I just switched to Firefox..now it is doing on FF. I've had clearing the history/cookies work..and then that doesn't work.

Now I'm having to use IE (ugh) and wondering when it won't work next..sigh..

I use paypal for business so this is a real pain!

Desktop computer on home internet. DH not having problems on his computer, but he doesn't use paypal as much as I do either.
