Google Maps is upside down!

[radhak]

Noticed it on my desktop since yesterday - when opened, Google Maps shows okay; but when clicked, or refreshed, or any activity on the map (directions, etc), the $@!$@ map flips over, upside down!

At first it was amusing, and even entertaining (I called others over to take a look), but now it's a nuisance. Funny thing is, it functions okay - the directions, arrows, everything, even zoom!

Is this somebody playing a trick on me, or some virus? (And oh, this happens only on Firefox).

This is how it looks:

I was going to say maybe your location setting has you in Australia, but...

You're not alone. Seems to be a bug in Firefox v37.

well, that's good to know, in way.
(btw, I did google for this problem, but never hit on that page you linked. Thanks!)

Now I have to go thru that series of steps that worked for others...I'll report back

Rod should be able to read it!

Not only upside down, but backwards too. That is how a south bound mole might see it.

Bing maps seems to be working fine - and Bing doesn't take and sell your personal information, or regularly revise their user interface rendering it virtually unusable, then refuse to let you use the "classic" version after a time (i.e. the one that actually works).

Guess you can tell I'm not a google fan lol.

Thanks for the info on Bing Maps. I too am fed up with the constantly changing interfaces of other sites. Bing looks nice and clean. I look forward to using it.
