Hi Ekhart,

Ekhart, as long as you're active on the FF forums, why don't you
suggest a new extension (or a modification of IEView) to always
call IE for particular URLs. Or better yet, to open the URL in a
WebBrowser control, which would leave the extension substantially in
control. This way, people wouldn't have to switch back and forth
manually; they could just, for example, right-click and select "Always
open page in IE". Thus, someone who uses CARE.USBANK.COM (which uses
an ActiveX control) wouldn't need to be concerned about whether
Firefox is the default browser or not. I suspect that something like
this would significantly improve the acceptance factor of Firefox in
business environments.
EGlnl> PS: What does "Lod on Probs" mean?
It took me a while to figure that out; I saw it in the list of
messages, but didn't figure out, until right before I clicked on it,
that it was a typo of "Log on Probs".

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
