IE TAB Tool

I can't see said the sighted man
IE TAB

Aside from JMcD, I've had three other people report that their comments were not showing up; and others who can't see certain graphics or videos.  I just had that happen with a You Tube video.  The page opened, but there were no controls to show it.  I am using Firefox/3.6.15.  I right-clicked "View in IE Tab," and everything was there.  So, my guess is that the recent Firefox revision is very flawed.  So, use IE, or if you want to stay with Firefox, install IE Tab, which is actually the best of both worlds.  You use IE's  Direct-X bones with Firefox's skin, whenever it suits you. (I think I have that right?)

Carry on. Smokem if you have'm.

Been using Firefox 4 Beta 12 for about a week now. Haven't had any problems.

My philosophy is, if I can't see it in Firefox it ain't worth seeing.

What a blessing that would be, both to me and to others, if my comments weren't showing up.......

Firefox 3.6.15

Tom Mann,
I've had problems with firefox beta big time for 2 weeks now. On Windows 7. May have something to do with my addons, not sure. What I am sure of, it comes from the browser and attacks the entire system. ****zilla, I tell ya.

Using Chrome and that is what I had the issue to. I was hoping that you would post my Iodine posting that is why I emailed it to you. But now it has fallen off of the page. Anyway, useful info.

I went to Firefox 4 64 bit and Minefield seems to work pretty well. There are not a plethora of stable - yes stable plugins and addons for 64 bit systems yet but, they are coming. Flash has one and they are perfecting it for next release. It is much faster and seems to be stable and mostly trouble free. Farmville app on Facebook (yes I am hooked) seems to have hiccups but, still faster than the 3.6 et al.

If I'm able to post this comment, I'll have some info regarding my (and others) recent problem with posting comments.

Ok....This is evidently what went wrong....
My computer had been starting to slow down so I thought that loading the newer IE9 would perhaps speed things up....It didn't and I also lost my ability to post comments...
I didn't associate these two because I'm not sure the problem occured right away.
Well anyway I seem to be back in business so if any one out there has added IE9, it may be the source of problems......
Hope this helps... Best regards to all.

A question along these same lines. A lot of the blogs I surf are using something called disqus for the comments section. I'm using XP with IE-9(?) and the comments sections on those blogs don't open for me. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I have to believe that IE9 is the problem for you too, emdfl.
If I were you I'd go back to IE8.
