OK, I'm sold: I'm moving to Firefox. :)
No problem, although I assure you it was a lucky guess on my part, rather than a shining example of higher thinking!

Diagnosis aside, however, the outcome is a good one; FF3 is a fantastic browser, and there are innumerable add-ons so that you can view the web the way you want to. It's more or less the first thing I install when I buy a new laptop.
