Firefox Not Responding...but I am

I've given up on Firefox.

For years, I've loved using that browser. The little add ons that you can get with it are marvelous. However, for about a year now, I've been experiencing problems with Firefox. The biggest problem is a "not responding" message. Firefox just freezes for about a minute or more. If I try and click on it anywhere, the screen greys out. Eventually, it wakes up and all is well until the next frozen moment.

No more. I googled the issue and found several remedies. Nothing seemed to help. No doubt if I was a geek, I could fix the issue. I think I'll just wait until Firefox fixes the issue. Until then, Chrome wins the browser wars (with Opera coming in a close second). I like the speed of both those browsers.

Bogus Phishing Fake Facebook emails

Beware of the recent spate of emails posing to be from Facebook, telling you in essence that your password in your Facebook account has been changed, or that you need to do something. They either want you to click on a site or open a file. DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHED FILE AND DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK THEY PROVIDE.

Here's a sample of a recent email (I have gotten half a dozen). I've included the header information (absent my email and some other info) as well.
