I have gone to Control Panel - Add Remove Programs - Set Program Access & Defaults to set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. I'm pretty sure this is what I did last time to make Firefox work. Only thing is the set up default browser has been running for ages (hour and a half) with the progress bar about half way across. Does this sound like a problem?	jcr1 (893)

It had decided (presumably with some help from the Xtra setup CD) to be using a proxy server. Unticking that fixed it.	Graham L (2)

Type about:config into the location bar and press enter, type version into the filter, find these two lines: network.http.proxy.version network.http.version right click each and select modify, enter 1.0 as a value and click okay, close and reopen Firefox." This worked a treat and I thought that posting it here it might be of help to someone else.	jcr1 (893)
