1. My iGoogle home page is a f'd up from my work computer--it looks like it lost it's coding--things are just listed down the left side. From home, it's okay. 2. (as you can likely see from the way this post is laid out), even though I see line breaks and paragraphs while I'm typing a post, they don't show up in the final version after I click "submit." 3. I put "submit" in quotes...obviously those aren't working, either.

any suggestions? (I set this off from the rest by using < BR >)

What gadgets do you have installed? Maybe one of them is faulty.

My iG works fine, but I have mostly standard gadgets.

The first thing I did was reset the defaults on the igoogle page. It's not that, I don't think.

Firefox or IE. If it is IE, you can use this little reset that has fixed a lot of my issues in the past;

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Restore Defaults (button)

You're right. IE works fine. But, I've uninstalled and re-installed FF...same problem.

I guess I'll just switch back to IE.

Thanks, AR.

Once when I upgraded Firefox I had an issue like this. It was because of the Theme I was using in Add ons. I switched back to the default theme and it was fine. If you can't see to switch. (this was my problem) Uninstall Firefox, delete the folder that has all the Firefox add ons (it doesn't delete when you uninstall) then reinstall Firefox.

Thanks. I already tried going "back to basics" though. No dice.
