Just as an aside - my dad was trying to get to VA.gov and Firefox blocked it and so did Explorer. Kept saying it was untrustworthy and wouldn’t let him bypass the popup. Ideas?

that’s usually a certificate thing ?, but make sure he actually types in the address in the bar, not click on a link, and it should be www.va.gov that he types. Usually you can add an exception or go anyway. Could be level of cookies accepted? what does the popup say?

I had a problem with firefox a while back and simply uninstalled it and reinstalled it. If you decide not to save your preferences, etc, you should export your bookmarks first...If pages are bookmarked (I have a lot) then I export them as a list (on menu bar/bookmarks/show all bookmarks/click on import and backup/ export as html/save the file).

Interesting - I just tried it with Chrome/Firefox/Explorer and all hit it - I also have browser protection against bad sites on all 3.

I keep getting this thought in my head that the VA and .gov sites are doing this on purpose to cut down on the work load but we don’t have to go there, right?
