Having had numerous issues with internet explorer, Have now downloaded firefox.
However, when I try to log in on this site using firefox as browser, nothing happens :scratch:
using IE login is successful :scratch: :scratch:
(I do log out with IE before switching to firefox then attempting to log in again)
Any ideas? Anyone?

I had exactly the same problem.

No idea why it did it. tried all sorts of things and in the end I stayed with IE for this site. When I tried it again a few weeks later, it worked with Firefox and now I can use either.

so not a lot of use that, other to say you are not alone!

I like Opera - the Browser that is

I detest Opera - the strangled cat singing, that is

Never had a problem with Firefox or Firebird, or Sunbird.

I've never had any problem with Firefox - I'm not particularly geeky, but IE is such a treacherous browser that I would do anything to stay away from it. Is your only firefox problem logging into this site, or others as well? Sometimes files are corrupted during downloads, and it might be necessary to uninstall and then reinstall and check it out once again.
