[Nfbf-l] If you use the m.facebook.com site

[Patricia A. Lipovsky]

Hi Jim.

Thanks so much for this information.  I've tried to access facebook on 
several occasions using Internet explorer, but found it difficult to 
navigate the pages.  Do you by any chance have the link to download firefox? 
I've never used it before, but I'll give it a try.
