So internut exploder kept crashing when it loaded my iGoogle home page. On my work laptop, at work.
So I installed Opera. Wouldn’t connect, didn’t feel like screwing with it for more than a minute to get the proxy server blah blah blah i don’t know what i’m doing to work. Dumped that. Installed firefox.
After enabling auto-detect proxy server, it works but google thinks I’m in Brazil. I don’t habla espanol.
What does one do?

Why arent you using “Direct Connection To The Internet” in firefox?
If your Firefox uses a proxyserver anywhere, the website will think you are coming from there.

Anyhow, firefox learned english so that’s fixed. But iGoogle is still crashing the browser so I ditched that (since I’m not supposed to have it installed anyways) and back to internet explorer.
I should probably do some work anyhow.
