I've installed Firefox, AND IT ROCKS!!! In fact, I'm using it now to make this posting.
Thanks to everyone for the recommendations and help. I LOVE the tabs, the Most Favorites
toolbar, and the multiple search-engines right on the control panel. And FAST!! It's
**Absolutely Fabulous**!!
I do have one teeny problem, tho.. When I get on some newspage (say Yahoo for example),
and they have an article that has a feature from.. say Youtube, IE apparently puts
up the pic in the article as normal, where you click on it and it plays. I check
the properties for this element and it appears to use MS Mediaplayer 9, which I have
already installed on my machine.
But the same webpage on Firefox puts up everything but the Youtube image. The text
leaves a square hole where it should be, but the player doesn't get called up to
fill the spot as it does in IE.
It obviously isn't a media player install issue, as it works fine in IE (and has
for years). I can't seem to find any setting in Firefox requiring a specification
for media players, so I'm not sure if I need an Add-On, Windows Control Panel setting,
or what. It must be some "hook" I haven't configured or loaded into Firefox yet.
Does any one have any suggestions? It's just this one little problem, otherwise Firefox
works *PERFECT*.
