... at http://forums.microsoft.com[^] The situation is this: At work: Win XP SP2 + all patches, Firefox 1.5.0.4, IE 6 SP1 + all patches I can post successfully to the forums. At home: Win XP SP2 + all patches, Firefox 1.5.0.4, IE 6 SP1 + all patches I can compose messages but after posting, nothing happens. :confused: Pop-ups are enabled. Only thing I can think of is anti-virus interference. Kevin

Why don't you ask Microsoft why their support for any other browser than IE is non-existent? Just use IE for their site. You can get the FireFoxView (View in IE) plugin for Firefox to make it easy to switch in between the two browsers. http://www.iosart.com/firefox/firefoxview/ Dirk Watkins

You've misunderstood me. The forums do support Firefox. My problem is that I cannot access them in either IE or Firefox from my home PC but I can from my work PC, which is puzzling. (BTW, MS do appear to be explicitly supporting Firefox these days - at least in some of their services.) Kevin

I see. Microsoft is becoming a bit more "standards compliant" as you noted but even the msdn library doesn't come up "right" in firefox. Sometimes I get a little frustrated.. :) I would suggest looking at your firewall, virus scanner, router config, and maybe call your ISP cause something is either blocking it or there is something up with your connection. Good luck! Dirk Watkins

What's odd is that I experience no problems with any other similar forums. Kevin

True. Although msdn2 is better behaved. Problem is that many complain that it's slower than the main site. At least Firefox is reasonably well supported by most sites/services these days - unlike, e.g., Opera. Kevin
