Firefox Browser

I have just changed to Firefox but it cannot access ms zone games site and I have to use IE, is there a tool in Firefox which saves me having to do this?

    No, it's M$ not writing their pages to be compatible with FF. There are a couple of extensions you can use - one of which is IEView which gives you a right-click option to re-open a page in IE. Click on 'tools', then 'extensions' & choose 'get more extensions' to find it, plus a load of other useful add-ins.

    the ie tab extension will allow you to switch firefox between gecko (the rendering engine used by firefox) and ie. This will allow you to use ms zone, windows update etc. and you can tell the extension to always use ie for certain sites. I assume that switching to the ie mode will expose all of ie's insecurities.
