The quote I was citing is about a quarter of the way down that

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. -- Jim Carlock http://www.microcosmotalk.com/ Post replies to the newsgroup. "Karl E.

All it lacked was the pile-driver conclusion, but perhaps it's more powerful that way?
