    This isn't considered ghost text - but it did pi$$ me off.

    I use Firefox - and my default home page and search engine has always been Google - ever since I got my first computer. It seems that Firefox has divorced Google and taken up with Yahoo. Firefox deleted MY default choices from MY computer, and put THEIRS on here instead. My son said it's just Firefox installing updates - but still........... Excuse me Firefox - but this is MY computer and you have no business making choices for me. I had to go thru the annoyance of changing it back - no big deal or time consuming effort - but I shouldn't have had to in the first place. Updating or not, I don't think this particular action should be allowed to happen.

    If Firefox chooses to mess around - then I'll just go with Google Chrome. At least I know that Yahoo won't be shoved down my throat by GC !

    Ecclesiastes 3:1
    The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
    To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
    Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
    Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

    Oh I can't stand it when they make choices for us. McAfee got a major chewing out last year just for that. I finally switched recently to an open sourced AV program.

    McAFee would interfere with my web choices on a regular basis.
