I suspect that there is some add-on in Firefox that causes the problem. I would install the next version of Firefox, but I hear that it's pretty buggy.

The other option is to disable all add ons with Firefox and try it. If it works with no add ons, add them back one at a time to find which one it is.

The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

Re: can't login to bluecross

I have been doing some reading to see if perhaps I should try the Chrome browser and came across some other tidbit of info. Remember that I can access the website using the Vista laptop but not the Windows 7 desktop. Then I found that upgrading to IE 9 allowed access to the website. I stumbled across an article that indicated that some website just don't like 64-bit browsers. The Vista machine is, of course, 32-bit and the new version of IE may have expanded capability.

Is is possible that the 64-bit version of Firefox is just incompatible with certain secure websites? If that's the answer, I spent a lot of time chasing this problem for nothing. Of course, there is the learning experience.

Thanks,
