Ive been an ardent fan and supporter of FireFox but there are sites and sometimes pages withn websites that firefox just can't open. Usually there are some plugins which need to be downloaded for some pages to work. This is one of the latest pages i came across while surfing a website. It forces you to change your browser to view the site. This is totally unfair and wether it is illegal or not would like to hear the fourm members comments--

download the ieview plugin ... it will allow you to open the current page in internet explorer ... so when u come across sch pages just right click ..and "open in inernet explorer"

Sorry dude it does not. I open yahoo and plenty other sites in firefox. This is really the first one that i encountered that literally put a full stop to firefox. There are no plug-ins either.

I have tried opera but that banner is quite a pain . I have not tried removing the banner but i think FF is quite good. And doing this to FF is CRIMINAL

Yah your point is good but in that case we shall be having more browzers on our HDD .

Yes there are certain sites that dont open but i still thin k we can substitue IE for that.

Anyway any idea when IE7 is releasing. :)
