I will try dumping the cache. Unfortunately, I have a work-supplied laptop as my only pc right now (the other one was old and died) and I can't download and install any new application onto it without going through IT at work (they are concerned about people downloading stuff with viruses and worms that would spread through the work network) which would make geetting firefox a pain.

I am using internet explorer already, though which I think means I could install an upgrade on my own-will try to do that one of these days.
