Within the last week we have not been able to open our email up "online". We can open it up but always have to switch to the Standard Html Version. This always opens our email offline. Working offline will not allow us to send emails. We have been able to open it up online in Chrome but our choice of search engines is Firefox.

Firefox is a web browser (as is Google Chrome), not a "search engine".

Google and Bing are search engines.
