I went to a blog I follow on my GReader, and it was marked that I had
flagged it. I did not.
I don't see the NAV BAR anymore, so I don't know if there is a choice
to change this on it.
The only thing I see at the top of the page is this;
"You flagged this blog as having objectionable content" overwriting
the word 'Blogger' on the left side of the screen. "objectionable
content" is a linky.
When I hover over the text, this text is shown on the right;
"Notify blogger about objectionable content on this page."
One - what is the problem with the NAV BAR, and is this just a problem
for me, or others, too?

Megan,
We've seen a few reports about navbar corruption like this, and I'm
not sure that the indication that you, personally, flagged the blog is
correct, What's the blog URL?

OK.
I have several tabs that open when I open FF, uh, 12 right now. would
that do it? Never happened before, and I sometimes have more than
that. a lot more.

If you saw the problem when only using WiFi but not Ethernet, I'd bet
that you have a WiFi problem. WiFi will contribute to this problem.
If Ethernet is involved too, I'll bet it's an MTU issue.
Both an MTU issue, and a WiFi issue, _can_ start any time. Any
networking expert will tell you that.
Either way, you need to post this in a Networking forum, not here.
You don't have a Blogger problem. Try DSLR Networking.

A network problem, hm? I'm seeing the same thing over Ethernet (though
oddly enough, the silver navbar is broken but the blue one is normal):
Firefox's error console is telling me 'Error: The stylesheet
http://www.blogger.com/static/v1/v-css/navbar/4034018350-navbar4_bund... was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css"',
so the data are downloading fine for me (in fact, I can get the
browser to apply the CSS using Web Developer Toolbar's 'Edit CSS'
feature, whereupon things temporarily look normal); it's the response
headers that the browser seems to be complaining about.

As of this morning the problem has vanished for me, so I can't check
it anymore. Last night, it was happening to my own blog (but when I
changed the navbar to blue it worked; back to silver and it broke
again), and out of some other Blogspot blogs I looked at
http://insurancequotesandinformation.blogspot.com/ (silver navbar)
showed the same problem. The problem was showing up in Firefox (both
Win32 and Ubuntu Linux versions), but not IE8 (Win) or Opera (Ubuntu).
Both OSes were in use on the same computer, though.

Robert,
If the problem comes and goes, on multiple blogs (different owners?),
then you, too, have dropped packets. An MTU setting problem is where
I would be looking, first.
