    Hey this other day the forums worked just fine, now I suddenly cannot see the threads in Firefox anymore!
    It seemed to me that all "advanced" stuff worked in Firefox!

    Now please add support for Firefox 2.x! I find it rather amusing that someone just decided to lock out so many people like me!

    There has been no such decision. I'm not sure if we are still testing on both 2.x and 3.x. I know I had machines with both and the 2.x one kept bothering me to upgrade and I think I recently did...

    Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you haven't upgraded to 3.x? I would imagine (though haven't looked at the usage stats) that most FF used would have...

    I've seen that, I've got one machine where FF 2 doesn't show threads.  It never did, right from the start (7 months ago).  Never pursued it,  FF 3.x works fine.

    Well that can't be true? I've browsed these forums with firefox for more than one month now after they got moved from forums.microsoft.com/TechNet  so it looks like somebody just decided to block it.

    I've now upgraded to FF 3 and it works smoothly.

    Well why I did not upgrade?
    I had some plugins that was not updated to FF3 a long time ago, and I did not bother checking out the new release, but it seem most of them are updated now.

    Ditto, except my required-for-usability pulgins haven't/won't be updated for FF3. I also have some equipment with web management that doesn't work in FF3 and IE6 causes it to create configuration errors upon saving changes. I won't install IE7 because it has broken saving network passwords on every machine I've encountered, and I only use IE for the 2 DVRs I have that require activeX.
