Didn't know there Yahoo had such a tight relationship with the Microsoft empire ..I hope they expand their reach, 'cause Firefox is great, and they're adding new sensible features all the time. What I get from IE is continuing problems, computer freezing and re-booting, more annoying pop-ups and security vulnerabilites, and continuing updates to patch their glitches and security loopholes.

Looks like Firefox's ultimate success will be based on their ability to link up with popular websites and programs. No Game Channel for me today.

What? I can't use my browser to go to the Yahoo game channel and follow 382 games played by 300 pound criminals earning millions of dollars?

Damn.

That does it. Out go all my software and damned computers and...

Wait.
I don't do professional sports.

never mind

Try this - User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox.

It installs to the Tools menu on Firefox, and you just have the browser tell Yahoo "ok - I'm IE6 today..."

I just went to the Stats page and didn't get the message you had, but I'm not sure I'm on the section you were trying to get in to.

My local news-rag's E-edition is not Firefox compatible. After many complaints from me ... nothing. They're not responsible for incompatible browsers. So much for standard protocols. will we have to have a conservative WWW and use Chttp:?

On a similar note Yahoo mail and Hotmail doesn't allow FF all the editing functions, and this extension helps remedy it. (It doesn't do smilies):

"In order to use the new NFL GameChannel, users will need Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher and a Windows operating system.

Some people just don't understand the point of the Internet.

Two that I have found:

FF won't play the regional radar at Intellicast. It does play the national radar.
FF won't play solitaire at Idiot's Delight. It is the best solitaire game on the internet.

I use IE for those.

Yahoo! has a lot to learn. Soon. Their ads are absolutely gaudy, they lean left, and now they've made the 'Personals' link on their home page pink, like it's been visited -- "No, honey, I really haven't been there. Really." So, their not recognizing today's Mozilla/FF evolution isn't surprising.
