Any ideas, please, from the experienced and bright ones out there... ?
I meant to add that I have been using FoxyProxy as well, with no problems until now. I did uninstall this add-on, and then re-installed it; but, that didn't get it going again either.

I really would appreciate suggestions / ideas from someone out there.
Thanks again.
