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.

Thank you CL...
We defrag every Wed and Virus "stuff" (norton corporate is updated weekly too.)
I don't know if this is the "fixit" utility that you mentioned?
I don't know about the RAM part..

I will ask my husband.
He is a HUGE computer GEEK..but isn't running Firefox which is why I thought I would ask you guys instead of him! LOL!
(It is possible that I may have offended his computer geek manly-hood though ;-)

Anyway...the other thing I run into is a HUGE lag-time when I open the program (by double clicking on the desktop icon)

AND...if I leave the program "open" and minimized for a long period (like overnight) sometimes it "sort of" hangs...is very slow and I might have to "force quit" to get out and reopen..

Just wondering if other people are having these "issues"...

THANKS for your FAST reply last time!
Sorry mine WASN'T!

The problem is the markup's TITLE attribute (in html, the stuff between the <TITLE></TITLE> tags) not the URL.
