  8. So actually, for those who have no knowledge about computers at all, Firefox doen’t work that well on Vista? :-(

    Hope there will be a Vista-Proof version soon then, because I don’t want to do any strange things. I still have my XP comp, but getting a Vista laptop soon.

    Anyhow thanks for the info, I’ll ask a friend to help me out, who’s somewhat of a comp “geek” (no bad meaning by using that word).

    Good luck all!
