    I starting to find myself using IE again, because some pages won't load up right with firefox. Is this just me or is anyone else having issues with firefox?

    I find some plug ins and the sort don't work with firefox so I use IE for those. But I still use the fox for everything else.

    A small number of sites are made FOR internet explorer and won't work right unless you're in IE. Kinda gay if you ask me. There's an extension for firefox that lets you render pages with the IE engine. I think this was it.

    I see what your saying, but firefox is even acting funny on this website. For expamle it would not show Rob's pictures of his partially built bike, pictures on myspace and yahoo won't load either.

    I experience an error (on this site only) where if I hit the back button twice in quick succession, Firefox shuts down.
    Other than that Firefox rules.

    I already had the 1.5 version, but went ahead and re-downloaded it. That didn't do anything. I just did a full virus scan and no viruses. Anyone have any other ideas?

    Not that anyone cares, but I finally solved my problem with Mozilla. Under my tools settings for Mozilla I had clicked the box that says, "Load images for the originating site only".](*,)

    You can also enter 'about:config' in the URL bar to bring up the Firefox settings. Anything that you have changed is hilighted.
