[Web4lib] Re: Top 15 Firefox Extensions

[michaels at lrl.leg.mn]

Thanks for everyone's input.  My safe mode wouldn't even run (and I 
have been keeping up with Firefox updates), so with that and no one 
having problems, I am also exploring any other computer issues that 
may be lurking.  I wil be getting a new computer in a month or so, so 
give it a shot again then.
