yup - got it bookmarked. My pipe-related bookmark folder's kind of obsessively bloated - thank goodness Firefox let me import it from IE, and I didn't have to start all over again!

>> love Firefox
I spent years trying to "love" Opera, even paying for a bunch of 3's and 4's. I finally gave it up as a lost cause. This morning I used it while I was fixing Firefox and sure enough, it backed me into a security corner "for my own good" that prevented me from picking up some things I purchased yesterday (in Firefox).
No password/cookie settings would let me go from the home page to the account page without dropping my login, and I couldn't log in from the account page. I don't even want to know what the problem was. Back to the "compatibility check" afterthoughts in the back room for it.

Given the origin of Firefox, I'll bet it is a a band. A string band of the hoedown variety.

It may have, but there was a series of books called Foxfire, a few decades ago, very popular with Whole Earth types (c'est moi).
