Thanks for all of your input and attempting to help me resolve the problem. It is just as likely that one day it will go away as magically as it appeared. Thank goodness it doesn't affect my default browser FF or Safari either.
Sorry I couldn't help. I use Chrome beta as my default browser and have for awhile. I'm generally happy with it. I do have to use Firefox at times as Chrome just isn't as rock solid stable as far as the way it handles certain web pages. This is probably due to some of the flags I've set in Chrome.
I'll say that Chrome support is a joke. Nothing like all the solid resources for Mozilla. It's too bad. -- »anatheists.blogspot.com/
