Alexander,

Thank you for your nice reply which I am sure took away from something
far more valuable. I got snotty and should not have, I apologize.

Forums have usually been my lifeline in traversing the Linux world since
RH to Fedora Core now to Ubuntu. I love Firefox and only used Opera to
have a working browser. What I did was reverted back to Edgy from Feisty
and now everything works as I expect it to from Ubuntu. So the possible
causes of my problem may never be known. I had a lot of stability
problems when I upgraded to Feisty and it just was not worth the fight
to me. I love to play with Linux "toys" but I have other, more pressing
work to take care of and need my computer for those things.

Again thank you and good luck.

John
