Well, OK, thats the same as closing swiftfox then
opening firefox which I did and it works. I did as
above, it closes all of swiftfox and then I can open
firefox. Since the forum indicates I didn't have both
swiftfox and firefox opened at the same time, I guess
my old mind is failing me. Since you experience the
same, my memory is probably faulty. But, I could have
sworn they were both open at the same time. Well,
Heck.
