I goolged before I posted but must not have hit upon the magic 
incarnation because I found nothing useful.  I just tried again and 
found this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/784856

Seems 20+ other people have the problem.  I subscribed to it and if 
notified of a fix will post it here.
