I too have had such reports from a number of users, including some fairly 
savvy ones.  I'd been tempted to brush it off, but there have been just too 
many such complaints here.  Again, a reason our people are gradually 
migrating to IE.

(NOTE:  We're not forcing anyone to change, we'll continue to support both 
browsers, and we'll "always" (whatever that means these days) have some 
public machines with both browsers.  Any of these changes happen as we're 
doing new machines or otherwise working on them.  This isn't a project.)
