If I unplugged my earphones, I had to reboot Firefox to get my speakers to engage.

Yesterday, his nibs asked if I had the same problem with Chrome. I hadn’t even checked! I was so used to the hiccup that I’d never even thought of it, and if I had, I would’ve been pretty sure that it was a Vista problem. Turns out it’s a Firefox problem.

The one, and only, problem I’ve found with Chrome (and it’s a known problem) is that my alt-click “show me the definition of this word” shortcut doesn’t work. And can’t. Google is using some proprietary what-sit and answers.com can’t deal with it. They say to go bug the Google Chrome guys. Oh, well.

I hated to do it, but it had simply become unbearable.
