I sometimes think that I exist in a parallel universe - and not just 
because of this!

*Where* is it that IE-only is a requirement?

I simply haven't fallen over this for more than a decade - I genuinely 
can't remember it was so long ago - and I spend inordinate amounts of 
time on the toobs. Indeed, almost every company I've worked with for eons 
has recognised the safety benefits of FF and have moved to it. And I've 
moved through a lot of companies. (I don't work with businesses built 
around .NET; that's clear.)

Even my friends who work for M$ use FF! They are not daft and recognise a 
good tool.

I understand your request, but I have to ask: Why?

And btw, I don't think FF is the nuts either. So there!
