When in Chrome, if I type a line for a search, like 'email links do not work in

Ideas out there?

Why didn't you just inject yourself with the ebola virus?
Google is evil. The NSA has nothing on them.

No ****. Chrome's gone.

I'm curious in knowing why you tried Chrome. I've been using Firefox
for a long time and have never found it lacking anything I needed.

I have been having an on-going problem trying to get Firefox to play videos. Often
I'll click a link only to get a black screen, and very often I'll get a window
popping up telling me my 'Flash Player' isn't working. I've reloaded the damn thing a
dozen times, but that's never seemed to help.

HOWEVER - when I tried to get that window to pop up just now, by clicking on various
links, I couldn't get it. Maybe installing and uninstalling Chrome fixed my Firefox
problem.

Or, maybe I just need a new computer!

John, try this:

Next time you have a problem loading or watching a video using Firefox,
hold down the "shift" key and, at the same time, click on the "reload
current page" icon. It's the half, counterclockwise circle with an
arrow in the right side of the URL address field.

What this does is bypasses the "cache" and stops your computer from
trying to load it into the cache. Once in a while I've had a video that
will start and stop a bit when playing. I just do the above and
it then works fine.


Thanks. I saved that in case I need it. Will let you know if I use it.
