The latest version of Chrome worked for me too with the exception of the zoom problem.

...You can also have multiple versions of FF on your system, but not running at the same time... So would I toggle between them with different shortcuts then?

I find it pathetic that we end up having threads like this when the real issue is that the forums software here needs updating (ASPPlayground.NET), Cake has not updated this for several years - there are security issues with this software, not just issues with the GUI,

OK, I went to Firefox and 3.6 is no longer supported, which they warn could lead to other troubles of security, etc.

I've installed Google Chrome, which is a little too bare-bones for my liking, which is why I never really liked it before when I tried it...but I can still keep my current Firefox 16.0.2 on a separate shortcut, and just use Chrome for this, if nothing else. 

I will say that it did load faster, and does show the whole screen - something I'm not use to. 

So this will be it's first test for me. - Right here - right now.

We'll see how it works, and I'll say yea or nay in a day or 2, if not sooner.

Well there's a difference already - no longer one big long sentence as you can see.

Also, I actually got a proper preview before posting message.

So I think I'll go with that for now, and keep both options of 'Firefox & Chrome' on the task bar and go with their shortcuts.

So thank you all for the prompt replies Buds,

I have never had a problem with this forum and IE(what ever version), as long as I have been using the forum. Only the search function was more or less not functioning. But not because of IE.

So I wonder why is it working for some users and not others, I use both IE 8 on XP x32 and IE 9(?) on win 7 x64, and no problems at all.

Sigh! - I'll explain again the reason why it's not working for some users is because the forums software here does not work well with certain browsers and needs to be upgraded.

This can be easily proved.. Anyone with a browser that does not work can click this link  ASPPlayground.NET , then click the demo tab, and then they will notice that the same (but updated) forums software will work.. Smoking gun? Yes.

Solution - Cakewalk upgrading forums software to 3.9 (here we run 3.5). They need to take care that the javascript code is copied over correctly for the editor during the upgrade.

I use a little utility called "Browser Chooser" for problems like this. When you, or a program, calls the browser, BC lets you choose which one to open in.
I comes in handy here, and for some help files in programs that won't open properly in FireFox, my preferred browser.
