Firefox or Chrome and I could not get by the message to allow it run despite the warning.

The "solution" was to find it in the browser history and go to that page, then back down to the beginning page. It works, but as a result keeping it on an active tag to not lose access.

So nice to be so protected.

What was implicit in the above message, both browsers labeled the maps site as unsecured and dangerous to enter. Neither offered a way to enter the site despite the warning, which I found to be strange. Do I have beta versions? Unlikely, but I keep up to date.

I had this happen with Google News, one day it worked and the next it didn't. I switched profiles in Firefox and it works just fine. That's a pain too because you have to move passwords and bookmarks over. And No, I don't have or want a Mozilla account to sync those.
