    Today i woke up form what i think was a pretty hot dream to a living nightmare.

    FireFox stopped working for some braindead reason
    i reinstalled it twice - didn't work!

    Then had to switch to opera since ie is a hopeless son of a $^#^@

    First of all i downloaded firefox again via ie
    guess what the download corrupted 6 times....


    when i finally got it - didnt work (Yay!)


    now im on opera
    and dude....dp looks queer in it....seriously the wysywsig editor DOES NOT work in opera
    same with gmail, i had to use the html version of gmail

    if thats not enough dp is like spaced out in opera

    and the ads (up there) show up like 20oixels away from dp (wtf!?)

    i never thought a world without firefox would suck ass so much

    Sounds like the problem is not with your browsers, but your machine....especially if FF corrupted and subsequest downloads failed.

    I have al three...IE7, FF, and Opera...DP looks fine and functions fine in all three.

    I didn't notice any problem with DP on the Opera (I've never tested any ie or FF). That's strange what you say.

    It definitely is!

    Last night everything was working fine.

    this is what happens in FF:

    -opens
    -when i click a bookmark or type in something
    -hangs the hell up

    Sure possible! :)

    I use IE exclusively for my downloads and have never had a problem with it.

    Once again...sounds like your machine.

    IE suck certainly, but I don't think those corrupted downloads could be caused by MS soft :)

    I'd suggest something is corrupted on your system. I have been using Opera as my main browser for years now and have never had any issues viewing DP with it.

    I agree, life sucks without using FF and opera is really frustrating. The java won't work in FF and i tended to use FF for java chatrooms ect as it hardly ever froze, not anywhere near as much as opera does.

    Sounds strange (really strange), Nothing like this happened to me ever. Did you install a new plugin or something like that?

    try to remove all plugins from FF including flash.
    i like opera , but community support is less , thats why i am using FF, with FF you will get many webmasters tools including ftp downloaders
