On the recommendation of absolutely everybody, I switched from IE to Firefox

as my Internet browser.

I have now switched back, Firefox having wasted too much of my time, and

failed to do too many things that I am used to doing. (Worst of all: It

would not play my clip of the dude lip-syncing that Romanian pop song!)

I finally gave up on Firefox when, attempting to start it up, I got a box

saying “choose user profile.” OK, I thought, and chose the default profile.

THIS PROFILE IS ALREADY IN USE, said Firefox. Well, no, it isn’t. Grrr.

Back to IE and all the poisoned cookies that come in with it. At least the

bloody thing starts up.
