I received a post card/mailing from CDW today. A co-op advertisement for SONICWALL and WebSense.
It shows the obligatory IT Manager with head in hands.
The text:
IRONY:
The folks who stand to lose the most from a security breach are the same ones who hesitate to fund a solution.
We currently use both of these products. Sonicwall email security (formerly MailFrontier) works pretty well. Websense? Well, it *mostly* works. For a 6.x product it’s still missing a number of features. The add however hits home.

This started for me somewhere around Firefox 2.0.0.10 ish and it’s really annoying.
When Firefox is first launched, the initial window is fine. I have my bookmarks toolbar:

Any new window I create (and I do use multiple windows regardless of tabbed browsing), the bookmarks toolbar goes blank…

It doesn’t seem related to any plugins that I’m aware of. I’ve tried disabling most. I can’t imagine that it’s an actual bookmark in this folder but it could be.
Has anyone else seen this?

Disabling this puppy and my problems go away.

Wordpress 2.5 is out, and Datapoohbah.com/Tech/ has been updated.
Other blog upgrades went smoother than this one… Not exactly sure what went wrong, but I had to copy the files up a couple times.
The admin pages still don’t render exactly right :/
