I’ve noticed that a lot of times the cursor will not appear in a text box until I start typing.

I’d rather be using IE, but I really got tired of “click to activate and use this control”.

I didn’t expect you to fix it. Firefox sucks, but right now it’s less annoying that IE simply because of the BS of the embedded controls lawsuit microsoft is facing.

Check out wgr550’s site with Firefox. None of the links to stories even work.

Thats because WGR’s site sucks, not FF.

Yes, probably true, but it works fine with IE. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a site that didn’t work in IE. Yes, I know there is a problem with WGR’s site, but IE finds a way to make it work while firefox doesn’t.

To put it another way, you’re driving around in your IE7 powered car, and hit a pothole. The IE7 car keeps going. Your buddy in his Firefox powered car hits that same pothole and the car just stops. The pothole shouldn’t be there, it’s isn’t in the road standard, so the car dies.

Of course a week later the IE7 car forgets to download the latest patch, goes through the car wash, catches something, and explodes.
