if you have the ability to reboot your computer and it has a cdrom drive, you could try to boot from a Linux LiveCD and run firefox from that, I have had moderate success with this kind of meathod before. Usually sys admins do not think users will be "savvy" enough to do this kind of thing. The only drawback to this method os of you want to save a firefox profile between sessions, you will have to use a usb flash drive or similar to save your configs, otherwise each boot is like a fresh install.

1. They've got these workstations set up so you can't use the USB ports (unless you can show a valid reason to need it). Flash drives are forbidden (too much proprietary information in the system that could damage the company if it were to get out). As far as booting off a CDROM, it would too much of a pain to do it that way. IE works OK for the majority of what I do here at work, so I'll just stick with it. Thanks for all the suggestions though.

I'm currently using version 1.7 and Firefox is still crashing occasionally. It still needs some tweaking!

Kanye says "firefox people don't care about Philistines!"

Judges 15:4-5

4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.

5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

find a new name for teh sucky browser, with a name inspired by terroism.

"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Firefox pwnz all other browsers..! I have about 5 different ones, they all have their purpose, but the only knock on FF is that its a resource hog...And you can fix that with a shutdown and restart...Tabs in place......
