Title: Mozilla issue

Anyone else ever tried to get to Microsoft Windows Update site using Mozilla? If you haven't then let me enlighten you. You get a blank, white page. No error message. No "Sorry your browser isn't supported" message. Just a plain white page :(

MS Update uses special features built into IE. (im lead to believe)


another mozilla issue i have is that hotmail.com never ever stays in my history.....although i think this is a feature.

have u also noticed how certina ms products dont open up webpages in ur defualt browser.....  ie msn.

I'm sure update will use special features but they haven't even bothered their ar**s to use it as an advertising gimmick along the lines of:

"If you used MSIE instead of the nasty horrible browser you have used to get here then you would be able to get patches for your operating system for free"

or some such nonsense.  No, MS just leave you on a white page  :rolleyes:

I hadn't noticed that about MSN TBH but then I don't use MSN
