   Howdy! Mark,   
      
   Yes, I was using safemode with networking and Logged into the Admin   
   account that only shows up when the computer is in safemode.   
      
   That is why it bugs me not seeing Firefox open to do what I wanted.   
      
   There is another Admin account I can go to in safemode that I made soon   
   after I bought the XP pc when a person helping me with HP Tech Support   
   suggested that I make a second Admin account to see if it helped solve   
   the problem that I called HP about.   
      
   This Second Admin account I can also Log On to from a Normal BOOT.   
      
   I never deleted it after the Tech Support call ended.   
      
   In fact I use it all the time when ever I am asked to Run something as   
   Admin.   
      
   My reason for wanting to Run Firefox in Admin safemode was to check to   
   see if Firefox had finished updating to v31.0 , because ever since I   
   received the Firefox v31.0 update I've been getting a pop up every time   
   I start Firefox in the Limited account, that says something like the   
   update couldn't be finished because Firefox was being updated somewhere   
   else, or by something else.   
      
   My Log On screen gives me 3 accounts to choose from.   
      
   1. The Second Admin account   
      
   2. A Power Users account I thought would be exactly what I needed to   
      use to be able to do ANYTHING I WANTED TO DO with the pc.   
      
   3. The Limited account.   
      
   BTW, the Limited account WAS the Original Account that I could Log On   
   when I got the pc and it WAS the Admin account until after I made the   
   Second Admin Account to use to change the Original account to Limited   
   because I wanted to keep the baddies away as much as possible from   
   doing any harm to the pc.   
      
   ... I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it and besides, it was an accident.
