Windows Vista question
 
Just got a new laptop with Vista installed. Choose Firefox as my browser, but it won't let me play videos or download plugins. Videos work just fine on IE. What's up with that ?:confused:

Has Firefox been updated or certified to run with Vista?

Probably not,,, I hear there have been compatibility issues.

Try looking here -

I would wait another month or so for Mozilla to release a patched version for Vista.

" All firefox versions crash Vista on certain web sites " Oh boy,,, I can hardly wait. Guess I'll be using the hated IE for awhile. :mad:

IE7 actually has been working really nicely for me. It has all the main features Firefox has - tabs, RSS support, etc. Security has been beefed up for Vista, so it should be stable/safe for, oh, a few weeks anyway. :rolleyes: ;)

IE7 and Vista work really really well together. The security on both of them is good, not great, but its alot more secure than it was before. I actually only use IE7 now. It just works that much better now than it has before.

I told him to buy a MAC...

I've heard that Vista is not even compatible with Microsoft's OWN software, much less anybody else's. Yeah, Mac is the way I'm going.
