What version of Firefox are you using?  I've seen some changes made to
Firefox but nothing that drastic.  I'm just curious if maybe I'm still
running a older not affected version. 

My reason for asking.  I'm volunteer on staff at a social site.  I have
several accounts there.  Firefox, especially giving the addons it has,
is the best option for me to use to have multiple profiles open at one
time.  Plus, I don't need the email feature for that either.  If
something ugly and nasty is coming, I need to start figuring out what I
can do to work around this or something else to use.
