Cor-el, Are you related to superman, Jor-el? Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful reply, which went way above my head. I am a computer idiot. Luckily, I have a friend who's job is keeping all the software working for Price Waterhouse Cooper, the largest accounting firm in the world, who will come fix whatever problem I have, WHEN HE HAS THE TIME. For which I trade my mechanical and culinary services. At those and playing the blues, I am the go to guy. For now I will use google Chrome for my Facebook. Everything else works just fine. I guess I will die not understanding this technology. If you need authentic recipes for anything Cajun, please feel free to call on me and I will send you idiot proof instructions on anything cajun, including Gumbo, Beignets, Jambalaya, and cooking any animal that once lived. blou4now@yahoo.com.

Thank you, oxylatium, for taking the time to reply. I did remove all the cookies thru internet options, but saw no improvement. I do not know how to try another firefox profile, but will call in a friend who has much more knowledge than I. Hell you could pick anybody on the street and that would be the case. Until then , I will use google chrome and try to figure that one out. Baby steps.
