Title: FireFox and internet Explorer
Post by: Rich on October 29, 2008, 06:04:37 AM
I have AOL and  Cox high speed internet service. I can get to this board via AOL, but neither Internet Explorer  or FireFox can find it. Same goes for my website. Seems strange to me?

Were working on some server issues that seem to be related to modsecurities Rich.
There's a few topics running about it right now.

Jim,

I got in  here via FireFox today, so you are gaining  on the problem. Internet explorer still won't open the board all of the way. I can get to my website through Internet explorer and FireFox both now.

OK......I got avast and firefox.........now how do I set up fire fox to open my pages when I log on? and how do I get rid of explorer?
Right now explorer opens when I log on. And I can not seem to get to my e-mail on firefox without opening explorer first to get the adress. :confused:

Also while Internet Explorer is open go to;

Tools > Internet Options > Programs

Near the bottom again "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser" Uncheck this

No Juno or Net Zero are a lot like AOL. They think they run the whole show. :iroll: And i didnt know you were on Juno.
You can't use anything but Internet Explorer while on their services. Or at the very least you'll have to close IE each time it opens.

I thought Net Zero only sold dial up service. :confused: Surely your not still on dial up are you?

Yes I am on dial up but I do not wish to use internet explorer........are you saying I have to?
I have never used Juno :nono:
I thought I paid my bills yet they dictate my brouser. :argh:
