Re: Can't access certain web sites from Valium

["Don McGorman" <mcgormd@hotmail.com>]

There was no error message, the image download simply never finishes even if 
you wait and wait and wait.

With the Firefox copy Mark has in his personal share on Wedge, the image 
opened in a few seconds.

Can I do what Mark did and have a copy of Firefox in my personal share?  
What are roaming profiles anyway?

They certainly do, along with most software.  I've given the task of
investigating how to do this to both Josh and Mark.  Josh is a fair ways
along with a test machine and a nearly-functioning auto-install environment.
I'm not sure where Mark is on it.

We can't just do this willy-nilly.  An improper upgrade to Mozilla/Firefox
would destroy the roaming profiles (as KB knows very well, she uses an
improper upgrade on her laptop and her desktop at FGO.  It's not worth the
pain).

If you post the error message, we have a chance to fix it before the
client-wall upgrade.
