Hi Megan, thanks for the response. Started happening 5 days ago. Yes, it works in Safari. Yes, it works in Firefox incognito mode. I updated Firefox but still doesn't work. I don't have DropBox on other devices. At least I have a workaround in Safari, thanks. Any ideas how I might get it back up and running in Firefox as it is my preferred default browser.
