Would be nice to find a workaround that could be published in the release notes.

Tried Henrik Germal's Patch for a previous version:

with no success.

Downloaded a build the other day (don't know if it was the same as last time, or
a newer build).  Installed, and rebooted.  

Success.  It was apparantly either a bad install, or bad build.

Also noteworthy is I'm now using Firebird, rather than Firefox.

In any regard.  WFM
