Only adding my name to "the list". Generally, when I wait a day or so, the problem "right's itself". Not this time. (It's been 3 days) Using the most recent free standalone version. It works with IE7,
not with FF v3.0.10. It
does work when accessing
www.l.google.com, but
not www.google.com. Since I use Google as my search engine, and FF as my browser, it makes me a very unhappy camper.

sad
Thanks to Jordan_L for suggesting the workaround.
Patiently awaiting a fix.. wherever it may come from...
