Google and KQIX

Maybe too much Flash killed it.

Update Flash?

dew7 · May 06, 2006, 01:22:51 AM

Well, I can try again later ---

Oldbushie · May 06, 2006, 02:54:04 AM

Yay!

Opera only crashes on me like once a year, mostly due to some fault of Windows.

Well, in the 98 general newsgroup a person suggested Sea Monkey which is by Mozilla.

My laptop is working and I have Firefox again!!

Congratulations, Rosella

How did you get it working again?

Rosella · May 07, 2006, 07:03:53 PM

It turns out the wireless card didn't want to work when it only had half of its pieces. I can't imagine why.

<grin>

dew7 · May 11, 2006, 01:38:31 AM

Well, I am giving Opera another chance.

Oldbushie · May 13, 2006, 02:09:41 PM

Hooray!

dew7 · August 07, 2006, 10:42:36 PM

Opera now works well but I have found that I cannot do some things in Opera -- eg. check my Hotmail account

Mozilla Firefox is great but sometimes you have to use Internet Explorer if a site needs Active X.

Internet Explorer -- an old stand-bye that I try to avoid using now due to browser insecurity -- will Internet Explorer 7 do better -- we shall see

There's a download for Active X for Firefox, I believe. I havent had that probley in a long time.

I use Firefox and the Firefox plugin that allows you to render pages in IE if you wish.

dew7 · August 08, 2006, 03:04:27 PM

I will have to look for information on that plug-in, Neil.

Yonkey · August 09, 2006, 05:55:51 AM

It's pretty awesome. It literally switches to the IE engine for that particular page/tab. Meaning if you right click, you'll see the traditional IE options, so you can tell it is being actually opened in IE, but just encased in a Firefox toolbar and titlebar.

dew7 · August 09, 2006, 09:32:43 AM

I have it now and it is sweet. I can now use Windows Update with Firefox using the Internet Explorer engine.

It is just as you said. I also downloaded McAfee SiteAdvisor which tells me about the safety of different sites. For some reason, they have not rated this site yet.

Yonkey · August 09, 2006, 09:45:22 AM

Yup. I'm not sure who made that Firefox extension, but it's awesome!

dew7 · August 11, 2006, 03:27:32 PM

According to this article, Microsoft plans to make their website not compatible with Firefox.

Neil, can you please send me a message on how to shorten long websites so they do not cause forum stretching. Thanks, Dew!

Microsoft
