Badlands Forum and Firefox

Just thought I'd share this: Badlands Forums (great knife forum) only works in IE. For you Firefox users, there is now an extension called IE Tab that lets you open IE-only pages in FF.

Thanks for the heads up, NDD.

I've downloaded FF 2.0 - is it me, or does this version seem more like IE 7 in look and feel?

It's the other way around... IE 7 was Microsoft's attempt to fish back the many, MANY users they had lost to Mozilla.

It didn't work.

Yeah, I understand that from a functionality perspective. I was just talking about the aesthetics. The graphics and look of FF 2.0 appear less like FF 1.0 and more like IE 7. But I have to switch back and forth (now, I guess I had to), so I'm probably just confused.

I think Brian is right.

Anyway, the thing for IE doesn't work 100% apparently. For example, the back button.

However, it's still awesome. Thanks for the info... now I don't have to open IE for Badlands... or Windows Update.

Stupid Microsoft. If Apple ever releases iTunes for Linux, I'm OUTTA HERE.
