Ok, that’s a dumb title for this post, but deal with it.  After abandoning Flock for several months in favor of tricking out a standard Firefox browser setup, I decided to give Flock a try again.  Fortunately, my timing was great because around the same time as I decided to return to using Flock as [...]
