<pre wrap="">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.

Homepage and some other settings were changed. Easy enough to fix with

Wow. Do you have any idea or leads about this issue? An exploit
related to Firefox, or some other hole something crawled in through? I
would be very interested to know any information you have about this.
Thanks,
Sean
