Ancestry results using Firefox are not handled correctly
Latest version of Firefox (for PC) does not handle search results from Ancestry properly. It should remember whether I want results ordered by Category or Result, but doesn't. It always defaults to Category. It should also remember that I want 50 results per page, but always defaults to 20. If I change it to 50, it reverts the order back from Record to Category. If I ask for the 2nd page of results (ie records 21 to 40), I just get the first page again. This is NOT an Ancestry problem - it works fine on IE (as it used to on Firefox). Ancestry research on Firefox is fast becoming impossible. Until it is fixed, I will have to use IE or Chrome for my Ancestry research.

Many thanks Fred. Not being a techie, it took me a couple of minutes to find out how to find the Cache bit, but I got there. It seems to have worked.
