    Whoa, what, on a Linux site... but seriously...

    What to do with websites that don't render properly in Firefox? On Windows I just swap out of Firefox and use IE or use the IE plugin for Firefox (which I assume uses IE underneath).

    But what's the normal thing to do on Linux for this problem...?

    Cheers,
    Rowantree

    E-mail the site owner to start conforming to standards instead of creating sloppy websites ;)

    However, it is possible to run IE under linux. You can download the tool IEs4linux, which makes that easier, by following the instructions on http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/pag ... ion:Fedora

    Replace the last line with

    ./ies4linux --no-gui

    to make it work on the One.
