Well I opened IE and went into Youtube and everything played. I do notice the
words "imbedded media" so maybe I need to get some of the FF plugins. I didn't
bother getting any, as I didn't know what i'd need.

That's the same with me and I've been wondering about that. I haven't updated
Adobe, but youtube still works fine with Mozila, but not IE. Weird.

withinternet explorer.

I'm using FF as I've set webvisum to automatically open, and I'm captcha
solving every day. Other than that, ff works well for me really. I don't
think it's any faster than ie 7 though, and like you Carol I didn't really want
to change either. The only tiny issue is that when I log into my account (BT)
Jaws doesn't read the password box, and the cursor doesn't drop into it either.
I just press down arrow once to overcome this. No other issues as yet, though
I was managing to play Youtube videos just fine through IE and now I can't
through FF. It says that either Javascript is disabled, (which it is not) or I
need to update Flash, (which may be true). Not sure what the truth is there.
Might have to use IE to see what happens.
Jill.

Well, some say that there are problems with certain pages ... but I
certainly ffind the page layout not so clear as with IE.
It's true, I haven't used it a great deal but IE does all I want it to
do and I didn't really want to change, so I suppose that's my preference.
