In the last week or so I have started to have a problem. I went to the Google map website, searched for an address and saved the short URL link. I placed the following short URL Google maps link on an Excel spreadsheet http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC . When I click on it I'm brought to a web page https://maps.google.com/maps?output=classic&dg=ntvo which has a blank page. If I instead enter the http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC into the Firefox URL field I get right to the aerial view I'm looking for. I entered the same http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC link onto a Word document and had exactly the same results. Before this started happening, clicking on the http://goo.gl/maps/WSflC link, wherever I had it, automatically brought me to the aerial map view I was looking for. What's wrong and how do I fix it??

Sorry for asking, but how is that related to Firefox support? Sounds like a problem with Excel & Word.

Those shortened links work in Firefox for you, don't they? All three links worked for me.
