Is anyone else having a hard time with this?

I'm still running Firefox 5 on all of my machines so that I can use this forum... and now the situation is getting more difficult as the latest flash (I've gotta use it whether I want to or not) will not install on Firefox 5... <sigh>...

Too many sites use Flash and many of them are now not working and require that I install 11.4, which of course, I can't....

Is there a newer version of Firefox that will still work ok for quoting and replies in this forum?

Thanks...

Chrome is working fine for me Keni. Is there something you don't like about chrome?

There is supposedly a FireFox add on called IE Tab (or something like that) that makes the forum behave properly. I have yet to install it though. Chrome sends tracking info to Google so I don't use it because I think they have become too sneaky and evil.

Thanks Guyz...

I've been avoiding Chrome for a number of reasons including Beepster's.... I prefer Firefox and I'm very disturbed that I'm being held back to version 5!!! What... Are they up to 11 or 12 now? <sigh>...

I'll look for the Firefox Add on.... Maybe that will help a little, but the real resolution is that I soon 'must' move up to a new version of Firefox... If I remember correctly, the difference is that the quote function doesn't work? It's been so long since I tried that I was hoping one of the new versions finally worked and I just hadn't tried that one yet? ;-)

SeaMonkey 2.01 here (Yeah, I'm a trail blazer alright)
And no troubles like I had a year or so ago.

Wish we could upload images and not have to reference a url.

Do you not mean Firefox 15.01?

Firefox 15.0.1. I do not think that FF will ever work properly until the forum software is updated. I have not bothered with the IE addon. I just add HTML tags by hand and gave up on quoting, although I guess that too could be manually added to a posting.

Pretty much nothing works except typing in text and hitting the Post Message button. You even have to type in HTML to get line breaks and as soon as you put HTML in the post the Quick Reply box returns an error message so you have to open the Full Version comment box. If you have any kind of link in your post you cannot edit the post. Smileys don't work (but I hate graphic smiley's anyway... at least in my posts). So yeah... it's a real pain but I tolerate it because I'm a big FF fan and you guys are worth the extra effort. Well, most of you. ;-p

@bitman... Very few forums allow image uploads to posts. It clogs up the servers.
