One of the things about Firefox is that they find their problems because they have a system for beating up their software. Microsoft seems to wait for others to tell them they have a problem.

Thanks for the heads-up, Bryan; it may explain something I’ve observed. I’m seeing a different problem after the batch of patches. On this computer, the MS patches applied automatically, and since then, I’ve been getting a really odd behavior from Internet Explorer in viewing the YDD: I see a (presumably cached) page from back in January. Clearing the cache has no effect; that ghost of bloggings past returns. A “hard refresh” (Ctrl-F5) does show the current home page in the frame. (Yes, I need to take out the frames; they were put in years ago for another purpose, and are still in there on the “if it ain’t broke” principle.) All of this happens on my computer but not on Stella’s. Both have the most recent patches. Firefox gets the correct page on either computer. I have a truly ancient HP printer (a 5L); Stella has an Epson.

I know it’s no panacea, but sometimes I look longingly toward a Linux machine.
