Firefox

by bryano Oct 14, 2004 11:23PM PDT

I recently installed firefox after reading of its advantages over IE6 on this site. I have already overcome one problem by checking the forum - namely sorting Bookmarks into alpha order.
I must say everything seems much quicker but I am experiencing a problem when accessing a very simple website which I host. I say simple because the most technical part is my password guarded Members Area which when entered I find it impossible to open PDF files which are there for information of members. It is a Bravenet tool and although the file opens ok in IE6 it doesn't in Firefox - just shows a Bravenet path and a blank screen. Also the I am unable to View my site in the browser before publication of updates to the web.

Widely discussed on Google and Google groups. It appears you don't use these resources?

If you go to the firefox site, you can dowload an extention which will enable you to view a page or site in ie.

Just right click and selecting "view this page in ie"
