Does anyone have any idea how to use FireFox to view the new home

I'm not having any trouble. Do you have NoScript or Flashblock
add-ons installed? Those might be the cause of your issues.

There's no problem with NoScript if you do a "temporarily
allow" or "allow" for baen.com. Same for hostigos.com.

None of the above are installed. "Ad Block Plus" installed, disabled.
Edit->Preferences-> Java Script enabled.

Found it. I had two versions of "Shockwave Flash" installed. Looks
like disabling the older one did the trick.

Interesting; I didn't know more than one version *could* be
installed. Thanks for the info; one more thing to be wary
of... ;-)

Oh, yeah - their stuff doesn't necessarily install over o remove older
versions. You can have several on the machine ... and, since the
reason that new versions usually come out is security holes ... even
if you've updated, you could still have the hole on your machine.
