Hi there..
Thanks for the post..
I am NOT a techno person here..so forgive my "less-than-educated" question...
But...has anyone else noticed Firefox slowing WAY DOWN..or not loading recently?
And..IS THIS what this article is talking about?

Sorry if this is a STUPID question..
I try not to be stupid very often!

It is not stupid..., it is just hard to answer given how little data we have. This article is talking about extremely long "internet addresses" and should not be a problem for you if you don't have some ridiculously long address of a website for a home page (not likely).

Is it only Firefox, or are you having troubles with all your programs? Have you defragged your drive lately? Run any "fixit" type of utilities (ie, Norton) to fix your links and all? Is your ram sufficient and do you ever get messages that you need to increase your pagefiles?

All those are things that can slow a Windoze box down.
