[nmglug] The OS progress,

[Ted Pomeroy]

NMGlug'ers, On the Firefox issue: I was watching a segment of the
Democracy Now, possibly "Booker's Place" from April 30th. The stream
stopped and I think Firefox froze, so I restarted Firefox and noted
that my home page had switched. Alas, I do not remember the address. I
used the Firefox configuration to 'reset' the home page and a few
other homepage settings. that seemed to clear up the tangle. I was in
an open wifi situation so that is another vector of unknowns. Base OS
on this is my old and stable Ubuntu 10.04
I hope this may help.
