Sounds like a problem with one of your extensions. Try disabling a few and see if that helps. Or go to Start->Run (under windows, or command line on Linux/OS X) and type "firefox.exe -profilemanager" to create a new profile with no extensions.

Someone else might have used it on your computer. Send them an email.  To delete, go to tools, internet options, delete cookies, and delete cache.  Also, when the box drops down, press down, and then delete

Here is a page that you will find useful for customizing Mozilla Firefox.  It will go directly to info on changing the toolbar background, but there is much more info as far as customization goes on the page.\n\nhttp://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#app_toolbarbackground

You probably had yahoo toolbar installed at some point.  Check the toolbar help page on how to reset this to the Firefox default:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/toolbar/troubleshootff/toolbar-32.html

mine (dropdown menu) opened up into a new window allowing me to choose from a variety of options.  i don't know if it depends on the version of firefox you're running... but i find myself spending more and more time using mozilla and less with microflop every day.  since the toolbar is so versatile, i'm sure there's a way to change the search engine settings as well.  firefox's hallmark seems to be 'versatility'.\n\nps::: i'm not hiding anything either!

Firefox understands "max-width".\n\nIE will ignore it.\n\nSo, if your HTML is working in IE, add max-width.

The best thing to do would be to remove IE7. It screws up many programs and functions. It will go Back to IE6.

Right click on the standard bar(that is on the top) and see whether address bar is active (ticked). If not tick it. \n\nIncase this doesn't  solve the problem, it means that the address bar is minimised. Check on the toolbar and drag and drop it dowen. Cheers !!!!

Sounds like you've got some CSS code that IE doesn't like.\nthough with out having something to look at the only suggestion I can tell you would be to Google for the CSS differences between IE and FireFox.

If you can view the same web page correctly using IE, that means your firefox really has some problem.\n1. Re-install the firefox and install the lastest version, I think it is 1.5.0.3\n2. For the frame problem, maybe it is because of firefox's ability for some frame-based web pages. Simply use IE to view them instead.

Ok, heres the best tip or tweak you could ever do to IE7, seriously.  Delete it.  Download Mozilla Firefox, at mozillafirefox.com. It's free, spam and virus free, faster, more dependable, and all around better.  IE comes with spam and viruses already in it they are just VERY hidden and take a while to come out.  You know the "tab browsing" IE7 JUST came out with, Mozilla had that since 2001 or 2002.  It's so much better. Trust me

I’ve been less than thrilled with IE7 and I am considering looking for a way back to 6 which I thought was better than 5 in several ways. In 7 you can change buttons through the TOOLS / TOOLBARS / CUSTOMIZE but you can not move menus from one bar to the other. Or I should say I haven’t found a way. For me there is a lot of wasted space because I could care less about the TABS feature. I don’t see it as being any better than the history or even the back button.\nAs far as the background showing through I would try doing a repeated shutdown restart maybe 3-4 times and see if that shakes the bugs out.

You've got a fairly complex problem, and you'll need to feel comfortable with tackling a little bit of an "under the hood" computer challenge in order to eradicate this pest.\n\nI've linked to a discussion (below) that recommends that you use a program called Smitfraudfix (I don't name 'em, I just recommend 'em!). You'll need to review the discussion (a series of messages between someone with your problem, and someone who was able to provide a perfect solution), and follow the directions carefully.\n\nI think you can safely skip the steps where the expert is advising the user to run HijackThis (which is an excellent and useful program), but I think it's already pretty well established that you have this browser hijacker on your system. Skip down to the part where they being discussing Smitfraudfix, and read that section carefully. Also be sure you follow the directions about disabling System Restore and deleting your "save points", or else you'll just be constantly reinfecting your computer, over and over again.\n\nI hope this helps you - if you're not comfortable with any of these instructions, I would honestly recommend that you seek out the assistance of someone who has tackled this type of problem before.\n\nAs for the previous respondent's advice - I concur with the idea of using firefox, rather than internet explorer. Firefox has its own issues, but it's generally a much more secure browser to run than IE, and is not subject, in particular, to "Safety Defender", which should be enough reason for you to switch right there!\n\nGood luck to you!

Welll, we've got IE7 with no problems.  But what we noted is:  First, the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, etc) does not automatically turn on by default, as it did in prior IE.  You have to turn it on yourself by clicking on Tools, then check Menu Bar; now it will come on automatically.  Second, the Favorites work slightly differently (click on yellow star) and once you get the hang of it, very easy to use.  Third, there is a Print button that is very easy to use.  Fourth, once you get used to the tabs and how to use them, they are a great and very fast feature.  Fifth, you can designate Yahoo as your home page and it comes right up, so I'm not sure how there is interference.  \n\nIf your computer meets all the IE7 requirements, I'd try to download again, from Microsoft Update site.  All of your current IE settings and favorites will automatically be transferred.

Get IE7 again, and just mess with the options for a bit, and get it like you want it.  I didnt like IE7 at first but I disabled some of the options on it, and I have it set up like IE6!

I've noticed that Firefox keeps more spam and bad content out for you, but I do have difficulties looking at some content sent to me by others...\n   1. Blocked popups (yes, they can be inhibited -- Firefox is your friend! If it wasn't set by default, choose Tools->Options->Content and select "Block Pop-up Windows").\n\n   2. Blocking animated-GIF banner ads.\n      These were once ubiquitous; they're still around, and still annoying. Even if they're not animated, with Firefox you can right-click on any advertisement-image and the menu offers you a choice of "Block images from this server." Block, refresh the page, and you're usually rewarded with a pleasantly blank void containing one small word: "advertisement." Evil sites then refresh the space with an ad from a different server, so you must block again. Continue until your page is ad-free. Truly evil sites host the ads on the same server as their own; when the images you want to see disappear, you must go back, right-click and select "Unblock images from this server." Since so many commercial sites are hip to this, they've taken to creating ads that are just text -- or Flash (see below).\n\n   3. Tabbed Browsing.\n      Until you start using tabs, their utility may not seem obvious. Here's how I use them. Say you're reading a web-page, and you notice an interesting link. Before tabbed browsing, you'd click the link, and thence on to another, possibly losing the trail leading back to where you started. With tabbed browsing, you hold down the "Ctrl" key as you click, and the new page opens in your same browser, but in its own tab, behind the current window, so you can move on to the new site at your leisure. Better yet, if it's a slow-loader, no need to wait -- just go back (or move on) to another tab, letting the slow loading page finish in the background. (With this feature, certain sites' initial non-member commercials can be avoided, like at Salon -- just move to another tab for a while). Note that a tabbed browser is hard to understand until you see it demonstrated. From the mozilla.org page about tabs:\n\n          Use tabbed browsing to open multiple Web pages in a single browser window, and quickly flip back and forth. Drag and drop open tabs to keep related pages together. \n\n      Some Internauts do something similar by holding down the Shift key when clicking a link, opening it in a whole new browser-window; but I find things much easier to manage while dealing with just one browser. (But if you prefer the multi- window method, Firefox will accommodate you -- see Tools-> Options->Tabbed Browsing. Another quite useful option can be checked there, "Force links that open a new window to open in a new tab.") Sometimes, when I'm surfing furiously, checking the link-heavy blogs I visit daily, my browser may show a couple dozen tabs.\n\n   4. Another right-click choice, when viewing a page employing frames, is "This Frame->Show Only This Frame." Kind of esoteric but useful if you frequent a site where you're only interested in that one part (and the rest is static or annoying in some fashion).\n\n   5. Now things get technical. Firefox can be customized with utilities called Extensions. (One of these, GreaseMonkey, allows for the execution of Scripts, but that's a whole 'nother ball of wax I won't get into here -- but if you're curious, the one I use most often is the Goggle Image Relinker.) The main extension everybody needs for pleasant browsing is Flashblock. So, what is Flash? Remember in 2) when I mentioned animated GIFs, and how to block them? They was an early method used to make moving pictures on web pages. But now things are more sophisticated, and Flash has become the standard, since Microsoft bundled a Flash Viewer into the IE browser. (YouTube videos are Flash.) What's terribly annoying is if you're
