Stupid......GRR! They ran some updates here at work, and whatever they did killed my Firefox... it's stuck in some kind of authentication loop, and won't accept my login anymore. So now I'm forced to use IE, and it sucks SO BAD. It's slow as hell, and glitchy. Probably because they're monitoring everything I look at. Guess that means I'd better get back to work, huh? Sneaky bastards. ~SM |

They can watch what you are doing on the internet regardless of what browser you are using. |

I'm amazed at how annoying IE is whenever I accidentally use it on the open Internet. I'm spoiled by firefox with add block and flash block. How do people stand to do anything with the stock IE setup? Too many blinking lights and dancing ponies... |

How do people stand to do anything with a stock setup? I can't stand any Firefox, but I am home on my customized IE8 and Opera 10. |

You guys aren't using it correctly. You're supposed to click on the dancing monkey before he get the banana. Amateurs. Seriously though, if your company doesn't support Firefox, it isn't a good idea to run it. IT shops typically only patch products that they support. Standardized infrastructure is cost effective, ad-hoc software support is not. |

I got a Firefox/mouse question for y'all: in IE the side buttons on my Dell mouse back and forward page. In Firefox they don't work. Can I somehow get them to work? |

Hootowl, despite my pleas against it, my job has to support FF now, and its been a nightmare with keeping that thing patched and the huge volume of service calls due to it randomly hijacking as default browser. When it takes over, many web based apps don't work and we get calls to the helpdesk about that. I think we finally got it resolved with group policy, but it was a real pain for a while. I run Opera on my machine anyway, if something goes wrong I can fix it. |
