I am sure you are correct! I think I am missing backgrounds 
on more web pages than I thought. When we first got this 
computer, I was missing a ton of graphics. I discovered 
then, that it was my anti-virus that had a ton of 
'stopper's' with it! I turned most of them off, and I got 
the majority of the graphics back. I never did get them all 
back, but at the time, it didn't seem important. I then got 
a different anti-virus - and now have a different one again. 
But obviously, I am missing things on more than just these 
few pages that I am finding now!
I was under the impression that with firefox, lots of parts 
of web pages didn't show up because if people used java, 
they wouldn't show up.
thanks!

Hi Cris

When a browser has a problem in one area it often has 
problems in others
that you are not aware of. For example I tried Opera for a 
while and it was
displaying only partial pages on some websites. They looked 
fine to me
until I went to one in mozilla and found a complete page. I 
tested other
sites then and found the same thing happened in at least 30% 
of the sites.
I would have never known if I had not tried a different 
browser.

What I am saying is that you might want to rethink leaving a 
malfunctioning
browser as your default.
