    Thank's so much for sharing. It seems Randell's website is not loading at the moment so I will just leave my thanks here.

    I needed to reboot after installing restorecond to make twitter work again.

    Chrome is my preferred browser ... but even if one important website screws up showing me a blue screen of snap - it puts a blotch on my computing experience.
