Hi once again thankyou for your tip but this also did not fix my problem,kind regards ChrisA

the problem only started this week and it looks like 25 other users have the same problem it just seems like firefox or google have changed the look ,its annoying really,so if there are any other tips please let me know.....cheers

I did some investigation yesterday and found that is is caused by a change made by Google. Google regularly does some experiments and makes changes.
