you may have IE set as your default browser. In this case, popups or references to other pages can bring that reference up under IE.

you can set firefox to block popups as well...

Thanks for the suggestions. On checking the address bar, it´s the same in both windows. The second window just doesn´t show anything (it´s blank). When I saw this, I tried to make the thing happen...

This is not such a big deal but lately when someone is accessing IE on one of the computers on our home net, double windows come up. IE is set for google as a home page and one of the iterations...

Are you saying that yours never works? Or does yours work sometimes...

I used to have this happen a while back when I had my IE home page set to the default Microsoft page. For some reason, that page just took forever to come up and it appeared that nothing was...

Well, I´ll have to reiterate that I´m using IE, Firefox and Opera on three different computers and have yet to see any one of them pick up a virus since I brought up this net. The computer that I...

You are right about IE´s close relationship with Windows. Take your original Win2000 CD and just reinstall. Be sure not to pick the choice of installing a new version, it will wipe out your hard...

I´m surprised with this response. You guys are the reason I tried FF to begin with. I like it. I just don´t understand why it´s so difficult to configure it, especially to do something that any...

That´s the problem I´m having with fixing the paste feature. There are no definitive instructions for how to fix it.

Just for those who are interested, I found how to change the configuration...

I'm going to suggest something, although I don't believe it will help much. However, anything is worth trying. Windows (depending on the version) is supposed to remember the window size that you...

I fixed mine. Guess I´ll have to run the tests again...

Well, thanks to dlh for the popup tip, I'll pass that on to my wife. And thanks a bunch for your comments catweazle, you've cleared up the murk somewhat for me!

My wife is one those users who...

just another example of the ¨guild theory¨. These people think that just because they chose this as a profession, everybody else should roll over and pay them their pound of flesh. I´m not saying...

After seeing this, I won´t be doing anything except browsing with FF. But see my post under ¨Why put up with the pain¨ about security. I feel that we should discuss this whole topic in great detail...

catweazle, jwenting, this is a very interesting topic to me (and probably many others) and maybe it has been discussed before but I would like to see more details to do with the opinions expressed...

Wow, what a memory, dlh! :eek: Actually, I believe that was two different instances on two different computers. Catweazle did help me the first time in update Firefox thread and I had to reload...

Good to know that my posts are helping. There are so many browsers around today...it's like the users of unix distros, I've tried three browsers myself...

Pretty humerous, DMR, I must admit. But...I still don´t have a place to go to ask questions about Firefox. I never got an answer to my question about Acrobat and fixed it myself. I tried a question...

I put that last post under this thread by mistake. I was fairly new at this and didn´t understand how things work. It shouldn´t really be in an IE forum at all, but there´s no other place to put...

Hard to believe that with all the Firefox advocates in this forum, nobody has had this problem. Has anyone tried to paste into a message with Firefox?

You are very welcome. I just thought of something else. Depending on your wireless card, you should be able to see something on the screen whenever you are within the scope of a wireless hot spot. ...

Whenever I try to paste something in a message (either from right mouse button or the menu paste) when I'm using Firefox, I get an error message from:

[Javascript application]
you need to edit...

I haven't had much experience with the actual use at a hotspot but normally you can just pay them directly when you are there or use a credit card through the user interface. One way to find out is...

Your question is rather obscure, but I´m reading that you want to set your laptop up to be able to get a wireless connection anywhere in Europe, Asia or US. I just moved back to the US from Europe,...

I've got a problem that cropped up since I changed over to Firefox.

Some files in my 'favorites' are .pdf and when I try to use them now Firefox locks up. So I went back to IE to use them and...
