Brad, I just switched to Firefox, and I have noticed a few different things that Firefox does to my site then IE, but when I am on Firefox it will not let me change my background and I notice my scroll bar is not the color that I have chosen! If I go in IE it is exactly the way I want it to be! What do I do to get Firefox to do what I want, I really like Firefox better then IE, except when it come to my class site? I have classmates that have Firefox, I didn't realize Firefox and IE opened things differently. I am new with browsers, I have always used IE! I am confused on what browser to use when I work on my site, because one person might see it differently then another! Any help would be appreciated!

If you read the fine print on the CHANGE COLORS screen, it says that the scroll bar colors is only supported in Internet Explorer. There is nothing you can do to change that. The developers at FireFox would need to change it. FINE PRINT FROM CHANGE COLORS SCREEN: Scrollbar Colors* * Scrollbar colors are visible using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser only. Changing your scrollbar colors will not impact other browsers in any way.

Please explain this. It seems to work for everyone else using Firefox. Yvette Allen wrote: on Firefox it will not let me change my background

When you say refresh, do you mean reload or re download my browser! Thank you for the scroll bar info. I never even saw the fine print!

Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the browser to realize that there is a different picture - especially if they are named the same thing.

I have reloaded the page, reloaded firefox, restarted my computer. If this is the way it's going to be I just won't work on my class site in firefox. I cannot get the background to change, it will delete all together if I just check the delete box, but it will not download another background! The only thing is, I went back into my class site in IE and worked on it, but the old background is still there in firefox, but it did change in IE! I don't know! Sorry to be such a pain!

I can see the same background in both Internet Explorer and FireFox. (MTV - Pink, Guns N Roses, etc.) Try pasting this into your FireFox browser. It should show up as your background. If it doesn't, you probably have a CACHE problem. If you deleted FireFox's cache for your website it will probably fix the problem. http://s3images.classcreator.com/8281/000/3.jpg If you don't see the image you want, check the FAQs for clearing the browser CACHE. See if that helps.

Well nothing was working, so I deleted my background off in firefox, went into IE, and added on the one I wanted and it worked! Thanks for your help! What browser do you personaly prefer? I'm not sure which one I like, I thought I liked firefox!

I use Internet Explorer, probably because I started with it so it's habit. I really like Firefox too though, and the newer Google Chrome browser.

I usually use IE at work (habit) and FireFox at home.
