Ok so in the last couple of weeks i've came across 4 websites that wont work properly on IE. I had nothing but bother with them, and every time, when I used Firefox, they worked fine. When I asked two of the sites about it they simply said they dont support IE.

Now I know very little about these things but my assumption was that pretty much everyone used IE but I'm guessing I must be wrong.

Anyway so now I'm looking to change and just get things sorted out but one thing is very minor but quite annoying.

When I create a new tab in FF i want it to open my homepage rather than a blank page, which I worked out how to do eventually but then once it does so, the cursor is automatically in the address bar as opposed to the google search if you understand me. So you need to open a new tab, then make sure you click the search bar, then start typing. In IE, you simply created a new tab and off you went. Like i said its extremely minor but just a bit annoying when youre used to the other way, so anyone know if its something you can rectify?
 
As mentioned the site specifically said they dont support IE so even had I to upgrade it still wouldnt fix the problem I expect.

They reckon IE only accounts for 8% of their traffic so it isnt worth the effort.
 
May well be if i upgrade to IE9 it'll fix the others but so far they all seem to run well on FF so looks like this is the way forward.


Cheers
 
Yeah my FF updated this morning and broke the add-on, but used what Andy suggested and it works again.

Thanks
