It could have been. That's why I opened a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser on a different machine. My first though was, in fact, that Mozilla.org had effed up and had dropped some links. You must have missed that part of my tale.
And I wouldn't call end-of-lifing an unneeded product, upheaval. Mozilla's capabilities are duplicated by Firefox and Thunderbird. Mozilla was destined for this the very day they split off the Thunderbird mail client and launched Firebird.
I can't. I must leave it as it is. If I move it, I find that the propeller doesn't spin fast enough to drive the little generator that delivers my electro-shock dosage to the implants at the back of my skull.
I did however, find remnants of Norton's Internet Security software on the machine which, when removed, allowed the proper viewing of the webpage...as 'kingu' suggested. Case closed.
However...I do have to shut down Zone Alarm Pro to make dl's with Firefox.
Also, just recently Mozillas fine email client, Thunderbird, mysteriously stopped working for me. It is a fine ptogram but it suddenly cannot connect with my ISP. Very weird.
FYI...
I'm using WinXP SP2 also and I was able to see the green and blue boxes when I tried to use IE.
It's not evil on the part of Microsoft. The likely explanation is that the laptop is running some sort of content filtering software that blocks out the specific code Mozilla uses to display the DOWNLOAD NOW link.
I didn't have any trouble.
Looks like a stylesheet issue... I was able to download Firefox on machines with XP Home SP2 -- just click on the link "make the switch today".
I have XP SP2 and see no problems with the web page.
maybe Microsoft is just helping defend us all from godless communism:
Communist Software (you may have it)
