  • Interesting. I find it amusing that I get a certificate popup when I access the site. 🙂

    Still, looks quite useful. I shall spread it around.

  • Yup. I avoid IE whenever possible. I've had a couple of other problems with it, such as when I use the cpanel applet to manage my web site which is on a linux box. It loads very quickly in IE, very slowly in FF.

    I love the features in FF, I'm glad that MS is catching up with IE 7, but I still won't trust an MS browser if I've got a good alternative. 🙂

  • The site uses ActiveX controls (no surprise). I think the certificate popup is because the root certificates updates Microsoft also passes down has the Root CAs for Microsoft's certificates. I just haven't bothered extracting them out of IE and moving 'em into Firefox.
