All, I am going to send out something about IE. There are some significant problems with IE that are finally popping up as web sites begin using more sophisticated technologies. Some of you are experiencing that as you use IE on this site. The long and short is that you do NOT want to be using IE. There is a huge security flaw in it that Microsoft cannot fix without redesigning the code:

Please consider switching to a new browser, and many of the questionable experiences you have will clear up.

Also, some of you are wondering how to copy over your bookmarks. It's very easy to do.

In FireFox click on the menu bar on top under "file", then "import" and it imports your Favorites, options, cookies, stored passwords, and a variety of other data. This saves you time customizing FireFox to fit your needs.

This still allows you to keep your IE bookmarks and personal data if you so choose.

Sorry for the delay in responding to this!

How do I use both? Firefox basically blocked me out of using Internet Explorer. My bookmarks and homepage were overridden when I had installed Firefox. Thus the reason for the subsequent uninstall.

You can definitely use both. When you re-install Firefox, just say 'No' when it asks you if you want to import your bookmarks. It will then leave your IE intact and you can use whichever one you want, whenever you want.
