Title: FireFox Questions
Post by: War Eagle!!! on November 17, 2009, 09:30:05 AM
OK. So I downloaded FireFox because I have read some good things about it and also you guys talked highly of it a few weeks ago in a thread I read. It seems to work fine I guess, but I have some questions:
1. Why are you so adamant about using FireFox over IE? It's fine, but I can't tell THAT much difference.
2. I can now not see the embedded pictures or youtube videos on this site. How do I fix that shit?

Thanks. I'll hang up and listen.

I use Firefox and your #2 items work good for me.  I think there might either be some plug-ins or settings you need to figure out.  Wish I could help you but I'm not sure your issue is actually a Firefox issue.  Probably a setting or two.  In fact, I'd venture to say that the this browser renders pictures (especially the animated avatars) much better.

Good luck!

Firefox runs/loads websites much faster for me than IE does.  That is the main reason I like it but a close second is that it has an on board spell check that highlights words it does not think are spelled correctly.  much like most mail programs.  Just a couple of less steps than having to manually start a spell check in IE.


As far as the photos and youtube stuff you need to click "tools" then "options" then under "content" make sure all four boxes are checked.  One of which is a pop up blocker.  I think that will take care of your problems.  You may have to restart the program.
