I switch to Midori until it is fixed. It's a more limited browser, but it usually seems to handle sites that cause problems for FF. An odd one recently: a web-only insurance company was returning a 'down for maintenance' page. After two days, I thought 'this can't be right', and fired up Midori, and sure enough, no problem. I haven't bothered finding out what Midori pretends to be (certainly no web designer will have heard of it), but websites that block FireFox are not good news for their owners. Had I not already had an account with these people, this would have been a warning to look elsewhere. You just can't get the staff... -- Joe
