you are very welcome Pam glad that helped. One thing your husband may want to try, this is what I do and like it, I create folders on the bar directly above the tabs which is the bookmarks toolbar, in those folders I put say my daily faves the ones I go to first every day, then all I have to do is right click that folder and hit open all in tabs and voila there they all are. I do a folder for my emails too since I have a few and can open all them at once the same way. I love the bookmarks tool bar, if you choose not to put them in folders you can simply drag any website you are currently on to the bookmarks tool bar by grabbing it's icon in the url bar and just drag it to that toolbar and it will stick, to change the name right click on the icon choose properties and you can make changes. to create the folder on the bar right click a clear space click new folder the box comes up to name it, then to put your faves in there just go to the website and drag it in or right click on the folder and select add bookmark here.

it could have been a bad pdf link or file, do you have a pdf reader program, have you been able to open and read them ok in the past? I would try a few sites that have pdf files and see if it was just a one time thing or if it is a consistent problem.

albert- The bottom line is that if you want to maintain your privacy and have a more secure computer you can do what I do: set Firefox to automatically clear everything each time I close the browser. This will not harm anything, although it will get rid of cookies so that I have to log in again to any site that requires it, and sometimes to answer a security question for a banking site as the site "doesn't recognize the computer you are using" (because I wiped out their cookie!). However, I prefer that to having tracking cookies on my computer, and I also like the fact that no one can sit down at my computer and have access to certain info by just opening the browser.

This is what I learned to do right here at CompHelp. When you are on the page you want a shortcut for, look at the URL. Lay your cursor on the icon in front of the http (here it is a little green leaf) and drag it to your desktop. I have a bunch of them on my Dssktop. HTH Sue
