Here are some things to try if the site works fine in IE, but not with FireFox:

Possible Solutions for Users

* Make sure your firewall isn't blocking Firefox from getting page content.
* Install a user agent spoofer, such as User Agent Switcher, to make the web site think you are using a different browser.
* If the page requires cookies or popup windows, make sure they are enabled for that site. This is done from the Tools->Options menu.
* If the problem is with a Java web site, try installing Sun's Java (J2SE JRE). Detailed help.
* If the problem is with a plugin, like Flash or WMP, look here:
* If all else fails, on Windows, you can install IE View which will allow you to right-click open pages in IE.

Firefox Limitations

* Cannot use Microsoft's JVM. Use an alternative, such as Sun's Java VM.
* Cannot render VML or do VML scripting. Try using SVG instead.
* Menus and other scripts that use document.all or document.layers will not work. Developers: see this site for more information.
* ActiveX controls are not supported in most Mozilla-based browsers. If possible, use a plugin interface instead, which is possible with Windows Media Player.
* Microsoft Windows Update must, by design, be run in Windows on Internet Explorer. However, you can find updates manually on Microsoft's download site.

good luck,

Jeff
