When I've re-consoldated my life into one .NET Passport, one Yahoo account, one Google account, things should get simpler again. I hope. There have been some Vista updates, perhaps something in there fixed it. Frustratingly, something also broke the NEF (Nikon RAW) codecs around the same time. I understand that they (Nikon/MSFT) are scrambling to resolve that now. Processing photos back here in Canada has been a nuisance though.

Has there been an IE7/Vista update since which may have caused/fixed the issue you were having? <blockquote>As I transition between accounts it’s very useful to have 2 working browsers.</blockquote> Now you start to see why I'm generally running 4 different browsers!

As I transition between accounts it’s very useful to have 2 working browsers.

Now you start to see why I’m generally running 4 different browsers!

My computer is awash with alphas and betas and other letters of the greek alphabet now. On my PC My Firefox seems OK but IE7 had a wobble after MIX, spinning its wheels on occasion; now it seems to be back in action. I haven't a clue what caused it - I didn't do anything to resolve it (I wasn't very scientific!) As I transition between accounts it's very useful to have 2 working browsers.

No probs with the internet connectivity, though. Weird. Actually, my firefox has been freezing a lot lately, and one of the latest changes I made to my macbook was to install silverlight.

I wouldn't be surprised if Silverlight was the cause of the Problem, especially considering all the Web Apps where built on Windows there are bound to be some cross platform issues.

It screws with your experience of Firefox. It screws with your Mac. It's trying to get you to switch to Windows and IE. :-) Do you see a pattern emerging here?

It screws with your experience of Firefox. It screws with your Mac.

It’s trying to get you to switch to Windows and IE. :-)
