[wplug] What's With Firefox?

[terry mcintyre]

I switched from Firefox to Chrome a few months ago, when Facebook became 
unbearably slow under Firefox. They seem to have fixed that problem. 

Am now using Firefox 3.6.8; Google Maps seems to be working. It looks the same 
regardless of whether I use Firefox or Safari or Chrome. 

In none of the three do I get a scroll bar on Google Maps; I use the mouse to 
pan and zoom, and of course there's the widget to accomplish the same thing, on 
all three. 

You may wish to check your preferences on Firefox?
