Chat Forums and Mozilla Firefox

jo_spanner

When I access the MSE site through AOL I am bombarded with pop ups. It is almost impossible to read/post/browse. I have Norton anti virus installed.

So on the advice of a friend I now access all internet sites through Mozilla Firefox and have NO POP UPS HURRAH!!!

BUUUUUUTTTTTT.....when I access MSE through Mozilla Firefox, it recognises my log in name but does not allow me to post as it refuses to recognise my password. Does anyone know why this happens?

Just typing this short message has seen no less than 17 pop ups and two requests for "registry cleaner". I need to be able to access through Mozilla and sign in.

Please help. Many thanks,

Ok just open Internet Explorer, Tools Windows Update, I know you use Fire Fox

Ok just follow the instructions its really straight forward

If you get a load of pop ups get this first just to curb them http://toolbar.google.com/en_GB/ and then we can have a look at any other problems but it maybe lack of updates so try that first. (updates I mean)
