Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It includes a popup blocker, tabbed browsing, a smarter search, hassle free downloading, and improved privacy and security.

I've got a tech question.

I've downloaded Mozilla Firefox and it works much faster and better than Internet Explorer,

BUT,

I use a site in my work (I work from home) called Microsoft Bcentral. I can get into it using Mozilla, but can't see the data I need to see. I get a VBScript error message.

So I have to use Internet Explorer to access the info on this particular site.

Is that because it's a Microsoft site, or is there a way to access it and the info using Mozilla Firefox?

>>>Is that because it's a Microsoft site?

Yes. Microsoft uses lots of things that are specific to their browsers only.

Thanks, that's what I figured, but had never gotten around to asking anyone.

Firefox update ping.

[Uncle Fud]

Use the IEview extension in Firefox to handle that problem. Switches out to IE to handle that site then drops IE as soon as you leave it.

I just installed the Walnut theme. It is purty.

MS loads up their sites with activeX widgets. Since there is no good open source java, Firefox has no ability to hit these pages. I am an insurance broker, and many of my companies have partnered with MS in developing their web sites. Those things force us to use IE.

Griping to the companies about it goes ignored, by and large.

Dawn, I believe your question has been answered.
But anyway, I concur, DO download the extension that opens 'IE' based web sites, it works like a charm.

FIREFOX rocks :-)

Yes, but continue griping nonetheless. Eventually it might get through their thick heads that some folks prefer reliability, security, and usability more than just using whatever was installed on their computer by default.

You have to close IE manually.

I have both browsers (IE and Firefox) installed on my computer. I have one setup (IE) for news and blogs, and the Firefox for other information (i.e. sports).

I would really like to keep 2 separate browsers to keep the info separate and easily locatable. Is there any way to install 2 separate firefox browsers? Everytime I try, it automatically finds and copies all my preferences from the old firefox. I'd like to have 2 completely separate browsers.
