Iunderstood some of that… I think. So, firefox broke St Andrews and its all because Firefox have coded their thingy wrong. Yeah?

Well, good luck getting it fixed! Heriot Watt still uses IE before tabbed browsin was installed… and we’re a TECHNICAL university! )

Ps, come fix Heriot watt at wome point please! We can pay! Probably with food and damned fine music!

And, in connection to my comment, we still use IE6 at work - I have no idea why, considering some people can have 10 windows open for different reasons.

We decided to fully support only modern browsers: IE6 and IE7, Firefox, Safari/Konqueror and Opera 8 and above. (While I don’t class IE6 as a modern browser it’s the one used on about 75% of all the university PCs so we had no choice but to support it.)

Dundee and Abertay are both IE7 enabled, and believe it or not, UAD even had Firefox as an alt on the Library PCs, but you have to look in Programs for it. Praise be!

Regarding your problem, not to sound bad but I do hope it is your programming and not Firefox, after reading about 2.0.0.8, this is now Leopard ready and has fixed 10 main problems.
