   Hi Paul,   
      
   I have hept an older version of FF on my notebook so I could use a   
   old version of a Add on.   
   Yesterday FF wouldn't open at all, evertime I try to use it I would get   
   a Crash Report, so I guess I will have to do as Mark says and keep it   
   up to date as I have it on this desktop box.

   Thank You!, If I have a problem like that again I will try that.   
      
   I've been using DoPDF a lot since I read about it here to save what I   
   see in my browser that I want to keep without having to visit a site   
   again. I know I'm keeping old information that might be changed on the   
   page I made the .PDF from but that's O.K. with me.   
   You know how I am......

   When I want to waste a lot of time I do lurk through the temp directory   
   to see what is in there.   
   Sometimes I find things in there I didn't know 'it' had kept track of.   
      
   Some days what I do here is a Total Waste Of Time, but I still return   
   to this room the next day and continue on.
