Is anyone else having trouble with everything in IE?

I have to keep a different browser window open because I soemtimes have to log on using different accounts to check things, and ie makes me furious. 

Why can't I block and copy text like I used to?  why, when i post a message, or send a gmail message, does all my vertical spacing disappear?  total crap. 

i listened to nev on a big rant the other day about ms bs and i thought it was funny cuz it wasn't affecting me, but now I understand.  Apparently tons of man hours have been spent on our servers & sites fixing stuff to accomodate their crap.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR - Sat, 20 Dec 2008 4:06pm Edited: Sat, 20 Dec 2008 4:06pm

^ Quite right. Made the switch to Firefox a while back and have had no problems.

I put my rants in c&q cuz i'm too lazy to log in to live vic, just to start a crummy thread. I also do it because I CAN.
i use firefox but need an alternate browser. Our stats say some of you use safari so i'll maybe try that one.

i can't understand how they can mess up the simplest things - cut & pasting and spacing? DIE - Sat, 20 Dec 2008 6:37pm Edited: Sat, 20 Dec 2008 6:37pm

If you use firefox why do you need an alternate browser? The only thing that I use IE for is checking my hotmail account. Other than that, I haven't found anything that firefox won't do for me.

I need to log into the sites under different user accounts (that have different privileges). Tabs don't cut it - they get all gibbled up.
I still should be checking stuff in ie too, because so many people are still slumming with it. - Sat, 20 Dec 2008 7:34pm

I don't know if this helps at all, but you can configure Firefox to open links so that they bring up new windows instead of tabs.

The whole point of using FireFox is to customize it using Add-Ons and to a more difficult extent, about:config

Anyhoo, here's how you can do what you want without ever loading IE itself:

CookieSwap, to have multiple accounts open:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3255

IE Tab, open IE in FireFox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

You can thank me by never using IE again. - Sun, 21 Dec 2008 10:23am

Everyone, please respect and honour this live vic entity as he posts among us.

I can't get it to work yet, but I'll trust that it will. And I'll share it with Nev. - Sun, 21 Dec 2008 12:26pm

Thanks! I haven't tried the ie within firefox one yet, but the other one works fine, except that with every switch it bumps me out of gmail (which is open in another tab). I'll make some time to play some more... soon. - Sat, 3 Jan 2009 12:13pm
