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 Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: NoflopsHomer on February 23, 2006, 09:37:22 PM Do you use MSN? If so then, you can open up your emails in an IE window and then use that window.
Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Nem on February 23, 2006, 09:41:17 PM I don't use MSN anymore. Which believe me is a good thing. ;)

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. Congrats again. Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Nem on February 23, 2006, 09:54:58 PM I don't think I have a desktop syth tray?
Here is a screen shot of my desktop. [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Nakor on February 23, 2006, 09:59:22 PM As you know computer's not my strong point.
But in bottom right hand corner all those icon's, I got a arrow says 'desktop' beside that(would post picture don't know how), can choose icon from desktop to launch. Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Nem on February 23, 2006, 10:03:34 PM 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.

Have you tried launching it through start - prorgams etc.? Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Nem on February 23, 2006, 10:18:14 PM 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.

Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Nem on February 23, 2006, 11:38:22 PM Firefox options.
I'll rarely use IE so by going to all programs>internet explorer will do the trick. Thanks all :)up Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Bongo on February 24, 2006, 12:05:55 AM 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 Title: Re: N/P Firefox and Internet Explorer Post by: Nem on February 24, 2006, 12:13:38 AM Thanks Bongo.
I've downloaded the extension(IE tab), but how do I use it >:? Edit: I've worked it out LOL |
