AOL likes to wrap its tentacles around other programs. My guess is it might have something to do with an added AOL search box or toolbar. I know AOL stuck a search box in the top Firefox toolbar for me. I'm usually logged onto AOL already and just stay there but that has nothing to do with my Firefox connection--but may have something to do with the search box or toolbar.

Every so often when I am using Firefox or Skype (have not signed on to AOL) AOL will interrupt and sign on all by itself. It takes a minute but I eventually get it cancelled and occasionally it will do it again. Any ideas? Nancy
