359033 2005-05-27 23:57:00 Firefox is my default browser and google is my homepage yet when ever I connect to the internet my homepage can never be found unitl I refresh the page. when I connect with IE, no problems. I still think FF is nicer to use though. Any ideas? Tah. timezone (7848)
359034 2005-05-28 00:53:00 Sometimes IE doesnt like not being the default browser.

I would change the default browser back to IE. FF will still load, whether its default or not.

359035 2005-05-28 01:54:00 Even better - uninstall IE. Then it won't interfere. pctek (84)

359037 2005-05-28 03:26:00 What version of Firefox do you have? It wouldn't take long to upgrade to version 1.0.4? A friend who I turned on to FF gets the Google home page with no trouble, and he's on 1.0.3. Graham L (2)
359038 2005-05-28 04:02:00 Have not had that problem with FF, it's default. I'd be inclined to leave IE as a secondary browser rather than default, look to you FF settings especially about:config. Murray P (44)
359039 2005-05-28 04:04:00 Oh yeah, good point. Im using version 1.0.2. I will upgrade now and see if that makes the difference. But the funny thing is, since I've posted in this forum, the original problem has ceased to exist. Maybe I should post more often, LOL :thumbs: timezone (7848)

Yep. We are good at that. We can fix problems remotely!
Sometimes we can do it before we even know a problem exists. :-)

Did it manually actually . . . . time consuming but not a major .

359042 2005-05-28 08:04:00 Only use I have for IE is XP Windows Updates or anything that has the misfortune to be only downloadable using IE. Found FF quicker than Netscape 7 but have left IE as available for use with Netscape as default. FrankS (257)
