OK punks, so I take your advice and install Firefox...

And now things are all FUBAR.

Well, not that bad, but there's one specific problem. Some websites say that I'm not running an up-to-date or supported browser.

The weird thing is it happens whenever I try to use Firefox OR IE. So installing Firefox has jiggled my IE settings too somehow.

I'm running IE7 and Firefox3. They're both versions that should be supported by these websites, but for whatever reason the websites aren't recognizing it, and then I can't have my internet fun type stuff.

Examples of affected sites: google docs and youtube. Gmail works fine, but google docs no worky.

Waddup wit dat?

Odd. Have you updated everything? Turn on automatic updates. I'd also manually update everything now. Take a look at the firefox forums, too.

Install ie view as an add on. That will help you on sites that are archaic, though there aren't many left.

Just got a notice today that there's another update to Firefox3. Update: 3.0.3

When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Some sites are jerks and don't support Firefox. It's not that they can't the way the site is designed most times, it's just that they want to be dick wads which they are.

How's yours doing?

Both browsers causes me to the typical IT knee jerk. Spyware/Malware scan by at least two different reputable programs and virus scan. Followed by a hard boot.

i had problems with fiefox at first opening certain file types.

loaded up a bunch of plugins and it runs like a champ now i will never ever use IE again.

also if you want to make fiefox even faster do this...

Open the configuration menu by typing in the following into the field where you normally fill in the URLs:

About:config

In the config menu you have to set up the following changes:

- network.http.pipelining (put “true”)
- network.http.proxy.pipelining (put “true”)
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests put on 100
- network.http.max-connections 48
- network.http.max-connections-per-server 16
- network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 8
- network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 4

You save the changes by clicking the right button of your mouse somewhere on the screen and choose new -> integer from the menu. Now you have to write nglayout.initialpaint.delay into the popup and type in number 0 into the next window.

Curious, did you try a restore point, to restore the machine to it's previous state before being altered?
