Sorry BJ. If you read my message again, I refer to accessing Ancestry through a browser and not FTM. You said you were using FF5, but I assume that what you meant was that FF5 is your default browser, but you use FTM to access Ancestry in which case you are using whichever version of IE is on your system.
