Funny thing...

FireFox was working for the last two months with no problems.
Today, it starts up and is seen in the TaskManager under the
Processes tab, but it doesn't appear in the Application tab. And
I don't have a clue what has caused the problem. It didn't happen
after an update and it didn't happen after any software installation,
and I was just reading the following quote:

http://weblogs.asp.net/oldnewthing/archive/2003/10/15/55296.aspx

Weird.

Mozilla still runs. IE still runs. But for some reason, FireFox is messed
up.

Yeah, but it was just all tied together well.  All it lacked was the pile-driver
conclusion, but perhaps it's more powerful that way?  Leaving you to say to yourself,
"yeah, that's what *I* thought, too!"  :-)
