Well, I could be talked out of it, but when I called paypal, their tech 
help told me to use a different browser, but google chomium, years older 
that FF-ESR, will not even log in. Chrome I don't have, google wants to 
know way more about me than I feel like sharing with such a high profile 
hacking target as google.  Taini't gonna happen while I am still looking 
at the green side of the grass.

FF-ESR will log in, but when I select send money, it goes to a screen 
where I enter the PP account name of the person I want to send $25 to, 
and click the "next" button, FF sends exactly 0 bytes of data back to 
paypal. All paypal can tell me is that they are about to wash their 
hands and just blacklist FF.  Claims all the winders browsers work just 
fine.

And the only thing I can do is buy a whole nother unit, and the one click 
pay for that works just fine, I've already done it.

Bottom line is, what good is a paypal account if a linux user cannot use 
it?

Rant off. thanks.
