FIREFOX WON'T OPEN IN VISTA WITH IE8 INSTALLED

Postby FREDA » Tue 02 Jun, 2009 9:37 pm

Firefox worked perfectly with IE7 installed using VISTA HOME PREMIUM.

When I updated to IE8 Firefox would not open !!

When I reverted back to IE7 Firefox everything worked perfectly again.

Anyone with a solution ?

I don't have Vista, and so I can't check on your issue. Was Firefox default? Still, if there is no other explanation, this may be another reason to avoid Vista. I have IE8 in XP, and I have no problem.
