In case it's of any relevance I've had problems in the past with trying to connect FireFox to Yahoo sites through the UTV proxy server. This seems to be a proxy rather than a FireFox problem.
If you install the user agent switcher extension and switch into IE mode they work. You may need to switch back to FireFox mode to view other sites though. It seems to be a proxy server problem.demoivre said:Through a proxy server. I'm also with UTV bb and could never view the Yahoo sites in Firefox.
That's another way to do it!Now that I am connecting directly to the internet as per my post a few minutes ago I can view Yahoo sites in Firefox so as you say the prob. seems to be a proxy issue .
Not really - potentially minor speed issues since via a caching proxy may be faster due to cached copies of certain resources being used but otherwise it shouldn't be any big deal. It would be worth getting to the bottom of the problem though.Are there any adverse implications of me connecting to the internet directly as opposed to through the proxy server?

It's worth a try just to see how it works - it's still very new, but is out of BETA and there are some very simple, but useful features such as a pagesearch bar and one-click notepad document icon.
Tablane is built upon Microsoft's Internet Explorer engine. Its security will be as good as the IE configuration on your PC. All IE security patches will automatically work with Tablane. If you use other 3rd party security software with IE, this should also work with Tablane.
