Other than the lack of Windows Media Player plugins, it works just
fine.

The way Firefox has been attacked over the last month, it's not safe to use
anywhere.

I'm using IE, FireFox and Opera, all without too many issues. IE had an
issue with Flash, but that's been resolved and both Opera and FireFox cannot
seem to use the Media Player plug-in, but beyond that, it's all good so far.

Yes -- no problem here -- 2.0.0.1

You know, this was a constructive thread -- a number of MVP's get bent
out of shape with Linux and Mac trolls. No need to return the favor.

I use it. I just said it's not "safe" to use anywhere. It has problems, just
as those that continually plague I.E.

OK, fair enough -- you avoid the problems if you stay off the web, but
for many (ourselves included) we manage to cope (even with IE and
FireFox) <smile>.

Excellent..I'll give it a try..good to have both IE and Firefox..each has
their strengths...follow up question..I heard there is a great Vista skin
for Firefox...does anyone have a link to it?

So what web browser do you use?

There is a fix for Firefox regarding the media player plug-in.

I followed the "Vista" recommendations and now can access XMOnline, etc.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player#Missing_plugin

Go to paragraph "Missing Plug-In" then go to line 4.

What B.S. It's still 'safer' than IE.
