Firefox is far better than internet explorer...

I had the same issue as you, but that was down to me messing about with a plugin called image zoom. If you click Tool - Add Ons, you can see what is installed. If its there, disable it and restart firefox. See if that fixes it?

With regards to some sites not working in firefox - It has no activeX support, so any app that uses this will not work.

There is however a add on called IEtab, which i use a lot. It enables firefox to render the page using internet explorer, but within the firefox frame / application. You can set a load of urls in the config for it so that they will automatically be rendered.

Its really good and can be downloaded here

Ive biffed Outlook for the Mozilla equivalent - Thunderbird :)

How To Speed Up Firefox (Helpful Vanity)


Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 100. This means it will make 100 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

P16LET:
Is there anything as equally handy for AOL...as mine seems to be operating at steam driven capacity of late  :cry:

Wanderer:
Firefox.

The AOL browser causes more problems than any other browser.
Download Firefox and run that instead.
