Subject: Off: Multitran in Mozilla Firefox
Hi all,
Any of you who use Firefox to do your browsing will know that it has problems displaying certain sites, including Multitran (can't swap between forums, home page out of alignment, etc).
Well, here's a solution I found recently, which displays pages in IE through Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1429&application=firefox
Apologies if this has been linked to already,
Eoghan.

I believe it's wrong idea to mix Firefox and IE interpretation of html code.
Launchy is another FF extension which allows you to open current page in IE if something goes wrong in FF. It's especially useful for microsoft.com browsing.
It's a fact that FF follows some other rules while reading html tags and processing javascripts. That's why for instance jumping to another forum language doesn't work in Multitran forum, the only workaround is to change language code in address bar.
Home page and some other misalignments exist but we hope it will be corrected in future version of m.exe (main Multitran CGI-script responsible among other things for html parsing)
Anyway, FF is great browser endowed with great extensions.
See some important details here:

Moreover, it's highly recommended to try my compilation of portable firefox which is already prepared for translation/searching tasks.
Download zipped version (7.8 Mb) from here
