I have never tried this, are there any known issues, with running 2 differnt browers simultaniously, on the same machine.

273330 2004-09-18 00:26:00 No.

I run Firefox, but sometimes have to use IE to access some sites. Once they sort out who is the 'default browser' you have no problems.

273331 2004-09-18 00:26:00 Yes,

I should have specified, with win2kpro, and a broadband USB connection.

273332 2004-09-18 00:32:00 The internet connection makes no difference AFAIK. Not sure if win2000 handles any diff from XP though - which has no problems for multibrowser use. Jester (13)
273333 2004-09-18 00:45:00 You should have no problems at all. tommy (2826)
273334 2004-09-18 01:20:00 Can confirm it's ok in win2k.

273335 2004-09-18 01:30:00 I can confirm it's ok in Win98 as well - have run FireFox and IE at the same time with absolutely no issues. wintertide (1306)
273336 2004-09-18 01:51:00 You _may_ run into issues if you're using browsers that simply Skin on top of IE, for example NeoPlanet and MyIE perhaps. Then again they may run fine without conflict. Chilling_Silence (9)

273338 2004-09-18 06:39:00 well,

Fire Fox and IE seem to be cohabitating alive, does anyone know if there is a turn on and off pictures function in fire fox like the one in IE.
