Gmail brought t my attention that I am using an old version of firefox. I selected to upgrade and sure enough even firefox told me I was using an old version. I upgraded, but after at least 6 or 7 downloads I an still on an old version.

the-edmeister, thanks for posting the fix for this. I tried asking in a Google forum and they just told me to download Chrome. Which seems to be the fix for everything according to Google.
