| I'm trying to be good, I really am. I installed the Mozilla Firefox browser today because I keep reading that using IE is going to destroy my computer. Two problems right out of the gate:
My Norton Internet Security prompts me that "firefox.exe is attempting to access the internet" every new page I go to. I have to write a rule allowing that for each page. Some pages cause 6-7 prompts, so forget that. If I turn off the firewall, I'm vulnerable to outsiders trying to access the computer even if firefox is blocking malicious pop-ups. So I'm back to IE. Another thing I noticed is Firefox reads Tree pages in the "one column" format inconstistently. E.G., when I first go to Jim's page it fills the entire screen left to right, but if I hit "older posts," it returns to the correct width (the width of the clouds picture). As I page back through my and Sally's pages, the width changes from correct to screen-filling to correct, almost at random. I can't figure out anything from my own html that would make one /pageback page different from another. The same thing happens when I view groups of posts by date from the archive--there, almost all the pages are screen-filling; in Sally's archive it's a mix. Again, back to IE. Also, now I have this "Java Console" thingy on my status bar that wasn't there before. What the hell is that? (Oh, it goes off when you turn off Firefox. Never mind.) |
