For some reason, for me anyway, the ads show up in IE but not in Firefox. This
is when I am not signed in OR when a non-premium account, such as MarbleBoy's
account, is signed in. There are a pair of lines in Firefox where the ads show
up in IE but no ads between. And, of course, Firefox had the RIP add on...
