Title: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer
Post by: Nem on February 23, 2006, 09:34:11 PM
I use Firefox and have both a Firefox icon and an Internet Explorer icon on my desktop. I need to open Internet explorer to view something that can only be viewed in IE but when I d/c on my IE icon it opens up in Firefox? Help!

Thanks in advance

Do you use MSN? If so then, you can open up your emails in an IE window and then use that window.

My Icon wont open either however if I launch from 'Desktop short cut in syth tray (that thing bottom right of screen is it syth tray?)' IE fires.
Prob wont help but worth a try.

If you have a desktop PC, to take a screen shot: press the button with prnt scrn on it and then go into all programs/accessories/paint. Then when in paint click on edit and the paste. to save the screen shot got to file and save as a .jpeg not bitmap as bitmap files are too big.

Well, you use to be able to host pictures on blonde of 200kb or less, now it's only 75kb?

I  go to www.imageshack.us and host my pictures from there. It's pretty easy to do.

Nemesis, right-click on the IE icon on the desktop and select Properties - what do you get?

Firefox options.

I'll rarely use IE so by going to all programs>internet explorer will do the trick.

Thanks all  :)up

Nemesis - there are extensions for FF that you will probably find useful - they allow you to open a new IE window (or a tab in FF that runs IE - i haven't tried that yet) from firefox to view the current page.

You can also set them to work their magic automatically whenever you visit a certain page.

IE Tab:
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1419&application=firefox

IE View (The one I have used for ages):
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=35&application=firefox

Thanks Bongo.

I've downloaded the extension(IE tab), but how do I use it  >:?

Edit: I've worked it out LOL
