Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:00:20 +0530 From: Dr.D.P Prathap <sbilibrary(a)gmail.com> Dear colleagues, We are having a peculiar problem with our web browsers. We have both IE and FireFox installed in our computer and of late, whenever we try to open FireFox, a warning message pops up and the application closes immediately. The warning message reads: " Use IE you dope (!). 'I dnt hate Mozilla but use IE or else...' ". The result is the same whenever we try to reinstall FireFox..... . Can someone tell us .. 1) Is this a ploy deliberately unleashed by Microsoft? 2) Is anybody experiencing a similar problem? and 3) Is there a way out? -- (D.PUTHIRA PRATHAP) OFFICER IN-CHARGE, LIBRARY SUGARCANE BREEDING INSTITUTE, COIMBATORE � 641 007.
