Roxanne,
You are confusing two totally different things here. You are free to use
whatever browser you like *but* Legacy does need IE7 to be *installed* as it
uses the IE7 engine for VE. You can set as your default whichever browser you
like ( currently I am using Safari as my default ).
No, I thought that FF3 had a problem accessing VE. I am not sure because I
have not yet upgraded to it. But if Legacy by design is accessing directly
through IE then it should have no impact either way.
Sorry for the confusion.
Other possibilities may be a firewall problem on his PC
