It doesn't seem to make a difference. Plus, it keeps asking me what
profile to use, and when I say 'default', it says it can't use that one
because it's already in use.
WTF? I switched to Linux to get away from this crap.
So i made a new profile, and it still does the same thing. I go to the
website, it says I need a plugin, I [say okay | install the plugin that I
downloaded earlier] and this time it fails silently, reporting only "read
only" in the installation popup window.
