Firefox issues this morning ...
Was it just me or did anyone else have connectivity issues this morning with Firefox?
After several different attempts (including system restore, which didn't help), ended up having to uninstall and install Firefox. Now, it's good as new!
Thank God for my Droid where I was able to keep up with emails and postings!

I don't know what modem and router setup, wireless or otherwise you are running, however, anything electronic that runs code needs to be re-booted from time to time. Sometimes connectivity issues with a certain browser signals a need to re-boot the router and sometimes the modem if you are running two separate units. Many isp's are using an all in one modem/router. Some can be re-booted or re-synchronized by signing in to them, but most of the time, I will just tell someone to unplug the power for 30 seconds or so, then plug it back in. If you are running multiple wireless or plug in via CAT-5 units throughout the house, each one is assigned a separate ip address by your router. That includes any laptops, smartphones, DVRs, alarm systems, etc that run from your router. Sometimes the addresses get confused.
When I say anything that runs code, I mean anything now days. Diswashers, clothing washers and dryers, most any appliance you buy these days. If you are having keyboard issues with it, the first thing to do is "re-boot" it before you go any farther.
