FireFox and internet Explorer

Rich · 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.

Tools > Options

Near the bottom "Always check to see if Firefox is default browser on start up"

alscalls · November 03, 2008, 06:06:28 AM

it says it is my default but explorer is what opens..........

FinsnFur · November 03, 2008, 06:09:55 AM

Did you click on the check now button?

FinsnFur · November 03, 2008, 06:12:37 AM

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

I have done both......it still opens explorer when I open Net zero

I even double checked

No Juno or Net Zero are a lot like AOL. They think they run the whole show.

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.

Surely your not still on dial up are you?

alscalls · November 03, 2008, 05:24:00 PM

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

I thought I paid my bills yet they dictate my brouser.

FinsnFur · November 03, 2008, 05:50:05 PM

Juno is Net Zero
But can you close IE and open Firefox when it opens?

alscalls · November 03, 2008, 08:07:44 PM

yes I love this fire fox........and I am looking into cable internet
