Firefox loads a REALLY wrong page for netscape.aol.com

I have Firefox ver. 3.6.16, using Win XP. When I click on the drop-down address list for netscape.aol.com I get a page with several colored bars running across it, and some directories listed on the left side on a gray background. This appears to be the only site with this problem. I talked to a Netscape tech, and his computer pulled up the correct site. 

  Everything was fine two days ago.  Any clues?

Eureka! Interesting that I cleared the "Today" choice and it worked, but I also had the problem yesterday. Looks normal. Hope it stays. Thank you! F. Smith
