Firefox blocked

Clicking on the "I Stand With Israel" banner in the upper left-hand corner of our main page, using the Firefox browser, now only gets a blocked page explanation, instead of Jack Lewis’s banner page, which you can still get using Explorer or some other browser such as Opera. It seems he’s only warring against Firefox, because some users have installed Ad Blocker, which his block page suggests how to defeat. But his pique is not unique. I had already noticed that blogger won’t allow me to comment at a blog using the most popular version of their comment-verification software if I arrive with Firefox. Explorer is not a problem. I’m used to Firefox, after many moons of use, but this campaign against it may force me to use Explorer as my default browser again. Opera is too clumsy for my taste.

Explorer 7 not so hot

I downloaded the new IE7 edition in hopes that it might be faster than Firefox. It is, somewhat, but has other quirks. For one thing the favorites can’t be easily loaded from Firefox, and the IE7 homepage is stuck and can’t be changed. I’ve tried every way I can think of. What a piece of sh***!

The Browser Den review is more complimentary but also discovers enough quirks to make switching back to it from Firefox not worth the trouble.
